Hi,

Sure this topics been done to death.
However, just purchased my first RS4 and looking to get a Carbon clean "de-coke".
Can anyone recommend a garage in the London or Surrey area.

What is involved? And what typical costs are?

Thanks

AMD or MRC down your neck of the woods.... About 500 quid.... Definitely worth while...

Jesus Christ £900 !!!!! My local tuner said £100 to me & I am sure that was with replacing the down pipe bolts

I think it depends on which type of carbon clean you have done. MRC do two types. The other is about £550 - have a look on their website by typing in MRC Tuning

lol, what type of carbon clean is that, the exhaust tips :biggrin2:

Having done it myself, i would charge no less than £900!

Next time i would use a walnut shell blaster as someone else has on here, saves a shed load of time. It's a tedious job otherwise.

Maybe he was talking about cleaning your carbon inlays,a carbon clean needs doing properly, it's a messy time consuming job, £100 gets your inlet manifold off before the cleaning even starts

Anyone recommend a place in south London or Surrey area?

Amd and Mrc are a bit far away to drop car off for a few days.
