Decarbonisation is a professional cleaning process that helps restore your engine closer to proper operation — quickly and safely, depending on the method chosen.
Carbon build-up is a genuine enemy of every engine. It also poses a serious threat to diesel particulate filters (DPF), the intake system and the fuel injectors. The main problem is that deposits gradually clog the intake and exhaust valves, injector nozzles, combustion chamber, exhaust system and catalytic converter, causing loss of engine power, reduced compression, irregular ignition, engine knocking and poor starting.
These deposits reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption.
Today, decarbonisation has become a key tool in the fight against emissions and for cleaner air. Carbon, the enemy of engines and diesel particulate filters, builds up in various parts of the vehicle, reducing both performance and lifespan.
Fortunately, there is an effective and affordable method for removing carbon deposits without dismantling the engine. This method is quick and reasonably priced, and it allows carbon to be removed from all affected components of the car.
Engine decarbonisation isn’t just a service procedure — it’s a way to maximise your car’s performance, reduce running costs and ensure long-term reliability.
Decarbonisation makes sense especially if:
Every engine is different. That’s why we offer three main methods, and in practice we often combine them for the best results.
We use professional BG Products equipment and treatments that dissolve deposits in components such as:
Advantages of chemical decarbonisation:
Hydrogen decarbonisation is a modern method in which a gas mixture (hydrogen/oxygen) created through controlled electrolysis is fed into the intake. While the warmed-up engine is running, it helps loosen and burn off deposits on the pistons, valves, injectors, and the parts between the combustion chamber and the exhaust.
How hydrogen decarbonisation works:
When it’s suitable:
Price: €90 incl. VAT
Mechanical decarbonisation is physical cleaning of components (e.g. intake, EGR) in cases of significant build-up.
How it works:
Suitable when:
This device uses controlled water electrolysis and feeds the resulting gas mixture into the intake. With regular use, it helps optimise performance, fuel consumption and reduce emissions. The device includes safety features (such as automatic shutdown at low water level or overheating).
BG and Petro Canada products stand out for their composition and manufacturing process. BG’s decarbonisation and additive products are a market leader and are used across almost every part of the vehicle.
They are used by professionals for issues such as reduced power, high emissions, high fuel consumption, irregular engine running or poor starting. BG products are also used by everyday drivers for prevention against costly repairs, to boost performance, reduce emissions and address high fuel consumption.
Prices are approximate — the final cost depends on the engine type, the extent of build-up, and the chosen combination of services.

Yes, when carried out correctly and with the right method chosen for the situation, it’s safe. The key is selecting the right type (chemical / hydrogen / mechanical) based on the engine’s condition.
Hydrogen and chemical decarbonisation are generally carried out without disassembly. Mechanical decarbonisation may require removing certain components (e.g. intake, EGR).
It depends on your driving style. For short trips and city driving, prevention makes a lot of sense. Cleaning the intake is often recommended about once a year.
Yes, we offer DPF/FAP cleaning using BG technology without disassembly. In cases of extreme build-up, however, further diagnostics may be necessary.
Often, yes — especially if the issue was caused by deposits. For long-standing faults (such as sensor failures, turbo issues, or leaks), the underlying cause also needs to be addressed.
We’ll find out what’s troubling your car — quickly, accurately and at a fair price.
