Terraclean Engine Cleaning

What Is Terraclean Engine Cleaning?

TerraClean engine cleaning is a different form of engine carbon cleaning from the usual “pour-in” solutions.
TerraClean provides cleaning to the important post-combustion parts of your car’s fuel and exhaust system.
TerraClean engine carbon cleaning uses a highly refined fuel that is run through your car’s engine using one of our specially designed engine cleaning units.
TerraClean is the only engine carbon cleaning system that has two stages of cleaning; The first stage cleans the injection system and inlet valves. This restores the functionality of the fuel injectors and pressure regulators, resulting in improved fuel pressure, timing and atomisation. As a result, the injected fuel will burn cleaner thus reducing the number of hydrocarbons present in exhaust gases. The second part of the TerraClean process involves aliphatic fuel, a fuel that has a loose molecular structure, making it easier to burn or, as is in this case, convert to vapour.
The TerraClean machine changes the aliphatic fuel to a vapour, which is passed through your car’s engine. This vapour attracts exhaust gasses and, when mixed, the carbon present in the exhaust gasses combines to form carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is expelled through your exhaust system.

Terraclean DPF Cleaning

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a device that is installed in the exhaust system of all diesel cars to “capture” harmful soot/diesel particles in the car’s exhaust gases. DPFs self-clean through a process called “re-generation”.
This happens under particular driving conditions, with the particles being emitted from the DPF, leaving only a small ashy residue. Sensors in the DPF unit communicate your car’s ECU to determine when the DPF needs to regenerate itself.
Unfortunately, DPFs do not always regenerate when they should. This can be because the required driving conditions have been unavailable or for technical reasons. If the DPF fills beyond a certain point, sensors in the DPF will send a message to the car’s ECU, which in turn will trigger the DPF warning light on your dashboard.

Leaving the DPF to continue to fill can result in your car not driving properly until the issue is resolved.

A standard Terraclean cleaning service will help to remove particles from the DPF, but to truly clean out your DPF. We use Terraclean’s industry-leading equipment to remove the accumulated particles and restore the DPF’s effective performance.

Terraclean EGR Valve Cleaning

In a standard internal combustion engine, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is an emissions reduction technique used to help modern cars meet stringent emissions limits.

Carbon build up is created during combustion in an engine. This gas is partially recirculated from your car’s exhaust gases back into the engine’s combustion chambers through the EGR valve. Due to its inert nature, carbon build up can absorb some of the other, more dangerous, emissions from the combustion process. Having carbon build up present in the combustion chamber can inhibit the production of pollutants.

The EGR Valve can become clogged and blocked by residue from the car’s emissions as they pass through or over the EGR valve entry. As this residue builds up, your car’s engine performance can be reduced as the carbon build up cannot pass through the EGR valve back into the engine’s combustion chamber.
