Petrol Intake System Carbon Clean
This service removes built up carbon deposits in the induction system, throttle body and EGR valve. We do this by removing the air intake, setting up the application tool and applying the pressurised Prostream Induction Cleaner into the induction system through the throttle body. Lastly we add an in-tank Fuel System cleaner to treat the fuel tank and the rest of the fuel system for any contamination and moisture.
Why do it?
Carbon build up and contamination is not a case of “if”. It will occur
In most petrol engines it is however a slow build up and takes time to affect the efficient operation of your car. As it happens slowly you don’t notice it’s affects.
Excessive carbon build up affects how your engine “breathes” by restricting air flow into the engine and the proper operation of the throttle body. The choking of the airways your engine breathes through, a dirty throttle body and valve deposits will lead to issues such as poor throttle response, loss of engine power and increased fuel consumption.
By performing a Petrol Intake System Carbon Clean you will:
- Improve performance
- Improve fuel economy
- Smooth rough idle
- Lower emissions
How does Carbon build up?
Carbon contamination in the induction system is more of an issue than ever. This is due to a number of factors:
- Engine design with direct injection engines no longer “washing” valves and intakes as they inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber.
- Extended service intervals
- Short trips and city driving.
- High exhaust gas recirculation flow rates to regulate the production of Nox (Nitrogen Oxides)
- Low viscosity engine oils that promote higher oil misting through the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system
- Turbo charging systems that allow oil bypass through turbine shaft seals
- As carbon deposits form they attract more carbon, accelerating the process.
How often is a Petrol Intake System Carbon Clean needed?
- Every 60,000 km when your vehicle does mainly short trips/city driving
- Every 80,000 km when your vehicle does mainly long trips/freeway driving
- When you start to have poor fuel economy
- When you notice your vehicle is sluggish
- When your vehicle doesn't provide the power it used to
- When your vehicle doesn't idle well
Please Note: This service is recommended for modern “direct injection” petrol engines. For older non-direct injection petrol engines seeProstream Petrol Injector Clean and Decarb

How much does fuel injection repair cost?
We always strive to give you a fixed price up front and let you be in control of costs.
Once we've arrived at your location our mechanics will inspect your vehicle and the faulty part or parts. We will then provide you with an itemised quote of the work required to fix it, and will not proceed without your approval. Payment needs to be made at the completion of any job unless parts need to be ordered, in which case we will require a deposit on the day of our first visit.
Service and repair costs will differ based on the make and model of your car and also the part which needs to be repaired. Again, every Lube Mobile mechanic will show you an itemised quote of all work required and associated costs before commencing the work at your location. This keeps you in control of price, and helps you decide if repairing or replacing a part is the most cost-effective solution.
