#1: Decarbon engine Author: Majid, Location: CoventryPosted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 5:09 am ---- Hi
I want to decarbon my engine
The best way to do this supposedly is to
1 Make sure the engine is warm
2 While the engine is running
3 spray water as a mist form down the intake pipe
this will then go into the throttle body and into the engine getting rid of carbon deposits through the exhaust
4 squirt water every five seconds then stop for ten seconds
Then keep doing this
5 give the car a good run
Has anyone tried this?
water meant to be the best to use?
Cheers

#3: Re: Decarbon engine Author: Majid, Location: CoventryPosted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 8:01 am ---- The engine makes a lot of noise
Been service and timing and alternator belt been changed

#5: Re: Decarbon engine Author: Majid, Location: CoventryPosted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 5:35 pm ---- What you recommend then?
#6: Re: Decarbon engine Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 4:56 am ---- A good fuel additive or regular use of a quality petrol should be enough to get rid of any build up. If it is that coked up that these don't work, then it's going to be a strip down job.
#7: Re: Decarbon engine Author: eddie206, Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:11 am ---- I would avoid purposely putting water in my engine...if it gets into the cylinders in a big enuf quantity it can damage the engine...water in the combustion chamber isnt great.
What do your spark plugs look like??
#8: Re: Decarbon engine Author: Majid, Location: CoventryPosted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 5:22 pm ---- Iv replaced my spark plugs a month ago

#10: Re: Decarbon engine Author: eddie206, Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 10:15 am ---- Yeah what do they look like??brown.black.clean.oily.charred.etc.etc.

What? Suggesting the engine is just used a little?
#14: Re: Decarbon engine Author: Majid, Location: CoventryPosted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 2:07 am ---- Hi
Yeah used intake cleaner to decarbon my engine sprayed into intake with revs high did no damage to the engine and no smoke came out.
I don't notice anything different
#15: Re: Decarbon engine Author: magistar, Location: new zealandPosted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 2:31 am ---- Probably will be more effective to use a few tanks of premium fuels or perhaps fuel additives that cleans the fuel injection system. I don't see how spraying cleaners from the intake can really help but I may be wrong.
That along with oil change or perhaps even engine flush if it is a mess.
What sort of engine noise are you trying to remedy? Engine ticks or tapping noise?
#16: Re: Decarbon engine Author: Majid, Location: CoventryPosted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 3:01 am ---- Hi
It is a ticking noise
Serviced car
Changed timing belt and auxiliary belt inc water pump
#17: Re: Decarbon engine Author: Majid, Location: CoventryPosted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 3:02 am ---- By the way when I try accelerate it hesitates and then goes

This is hardly just sayin the engine is used a little..drive it and use higher revs..ive suggested a good thrash for curing some things but driving it at high revs when thete could be a serious problem..is not the right thing to do until you know that the engine wont pop...

Fortunately he has now serviced the car and done the belt but we did not know this when you suggested to drive it hard earlier...
Anyway..now the belts done and that a good thrash might be called for mid gears..high revs prolongued for upto 30mins three or four times..
The ticking you mention may be normal engine noise possibly alternator or similar..but as for the poor acceleration response and hesitation u need to take the icv off and give it a proper clean..strictly follow the HOW TO on the matter and go from there ...respond
