Hi thinking of having my 2008 2.7 diesel carbon cleaned has anybody else had this done and are there any benefits to the running and performance, thanks in advance 👍

Do you mean stripping the engine down and cleaning it, putting some de-coking stuff into the top end through the air intake, or one of these places where they use some "magic gas" to make everything brand-new again?

I think the jury is still out on the latter but some diagnostic tests (to make sure everything is working) and a whole sump's worth of flushing-oil followed by a whole sump's worth of quality oil may be a better investment.

It’s the latter hughN I’ve read a few reports that it cleans 75% of the carbon deposits from the engine and exhaust increasing mpg and performance , just seeing if anyone else on here has had it done 👍

I’m hoping that the Redex I use in each tank full of diesel will do the same job over time. Costs about £1 per tank if you buy it from Tesco when they sell it at half price. Only time will tell if it makes any difference and I may never know. But for a quid I think it’s worth the small effort/expense. Robin

I have always been a fan of Redex, but after reading the post "Wynns Formula Gold diesel treatment", I am now using 2 stroke mixed with a tank of fuel. Early days but now think the engine is quieter or I have convinced myself it is
No one time "Magic Gas" will clean 75% carbon deposits. Do you realise how hard these deposits are. Anything that does work will be a long term change as it will slowly erode the deposits, unless that is if you are removing the head & de-coking it, then you will get an instant fix, but its a bit drastic & expensive.
