How to clean up the carbon deposits in the engine, and how much does it cost to clean the carbon deposits in the engine

I believe that even students who don’t know much about cars have heard of the term carbon deposits. Yes, as one of the most common "chronic diseases" of engines, carbon deposits exist in all parts of the engine. When we went to the 4S shop for maintenance, the after-sales receptionists must have recommended the engine carbon deposit cleaning project to us. So, how exactly is the engine carbon deposit cleaned up? How much does it cost to clean up engine carbon deposits? Let us take you to find out.

How to clean up engine carbon deposits?

At present, for the cleaning of carbon deposits inside the engine, we can use three methods: additive cleaning, bottle cleaning and disassembly cleaning, and the most mainstream is bottle cleaning.

Additive cleaning (fuel treasure):Additive cleaning is to directly fill the cleaning agent into the fuel tank and mix with the fuel. After the vehicle is started, the cleaning agent will enter the combustion chamber along with the fuel. When the cleaning agent enters the combustion chamber, it will affect the internal accumulation of the engine. The carbon undergoes a certain degree of cleaning.

Bottle cleaning:Bottle cleaning is what we usually call non-disassembly cleaning, which is also a cleaning method that 4S shops strongly promote. In this way, the cleaning agent is sucked into the engine combustion chamber along with the intake airflow from the engine intake pipe in the form of a hanging bottle. In this process, the cleaning agent will clean the carbon deposits in the engine intake duct and the combustion chamber. .

Disassembly and cleaning:As the name suggests, disassembly and cleaning is to remove the parts of the engine that have carbon deposits for cleaning. Although this method has the best cleaning effect, due to the large workload, time-consuming and labor-intensive, generally 4S shops will not provide disassembly and washing services.

How much does it cost to clean up engine carbon deposits?

As the current 4S store is pushing the bottle cleaning method, and basically does not provide the service of disassembly and cleaning, we only introduce the price of the bottle cleaning in the 4S store:

Under normal circumstances, depending on the premium of the vehicle brand and the different cleaning materials used, it takes about 300-600 to clean the carbon deposits of the engine once.
