TERRACLEAN INTAKE CARBON CLEAN

Post by typerkid » Fri Apr 14, 2017 2:21 am

Has anyone had this done to their Audi RS4 from this forum? From reading a few reviews alot of people who have had this done always seem to recommend it? :?

QUOTES FROM THE SELLER

This is what people need to understand, Terraclean is a brand not just one thing, there are different machines for different parts of the engine, intake, fuel system, egr, turbo and dpf, correctly diagnosing the problem and understand what machine is to be used is key, on this rs4 I personally diagnosed the problem as carbon build up on the intake ports, I treated it with 2 Terraclean intake cleans to gently brake down the carbon and followed with a Terraclean fuel system clean, the results spoke for themselves, one happy owner

Please don't confuse Terraclean with these cheap "carbon clean" company's that are floating around Facebook, Terraclean as a Brand have invested hundreds of thousands pounds into there engine cleaning products, the induction cleaning kit was specifically designed with the fsi engines in mind, it works and works well, the owner of this rs4 is made up with the results, it was running so rough yesterday, low power and very lumpy, she's silky smooth now 👍

This has been looked at a few times. Have a look through the search. But the consensus was always it's rubbish.

Somebody on here did a really detailed scientific breakdown. That's worth a read even if just for a "I have no idea what he's saying but god this sounds cool!".

Anyone dyno tested before and after? Surely that's the way to confirm it?

It don't work on rs4 intake! Cleans inside the cylinders alright, nothing but good old fashioned elbow grease cleans the carbon.

At a guess I'd say your best bet is Unit 20 in England, near Liverpool I think.

I will give Terry a ring and see if he is willing to do that.

TBH the car doesn't need it right now but I think my car had one done about 20K ago but still plenty of lift at 5500rpm

Complete placebo. It's like the dicks that put a K&N filter on a car and say 'throttle response has improved and it revs harder'!! Lmfao

Heres a vid of it on being done on a Jag with some carbon emissions tests before and after.

It does seem to work however I think a before and after tear down on an RS4 will put the topic to rest once and for all!

I would do it if there was such a service avail in NZ.
