C-TEQ now open
Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2013 12:40 pm
Hi Guys,
I’ve opened my own shop in Cape Town.
C-TEQ has been opened to service Cape Town with engine carbon cleaning on all direct injection engines and all diesels. We use a proven method of crushed walnut shell blasting. We have special design equipment for this process. All gaskets are replaced with 100% factory OEM gaskets.
Why do you need to do carbon cleaning on direct injection vehicles and diesels?
Due to modern motor vehicle regulations, vapours from the crankcase are circulated back into the intake system. This is to ensure than no oil "mist" or "droplets" escapes into the atmosphere. With traditional port injection engines you would have steady flow of fuel passing over the valves that keep them clean.
However with direct injection vehicles and diesel (as they are direct injection) there is now fuel passing over the intake valves. This causes that the oil "mist" or "droplets" bake onto the warm intake valves and port.
This causes a number of issues:
Bad fuel consumption
Poor performance
Engine error codes
Even engine failure
See below pictures of an Audi 2.0 TFSI with 95 000km on the clock.

After:
On client feedback his fuel consumption has improved from 10.5L/100km to 8.0L/100km. We have also seen gains of 10kw and 10nm of torque in power. This service pays for itself in fuel saving alone.
Process: Intake manifold is disassembled from the head so that the intake ports are exposed. Each inlet tract is individually done by ensuring the valves on the specific inlet are in a closed position. We then use our blaster to clean the inlet and intake valves. We specifically use walnut shell media as it is non-aggressive and do not damage soft metals at all. Once the system is clean and all intake tracts are done the intake is assembled again. Engine is started and checked for any error codes with our diagnostic tools.
This is a same day service. Bring your car in the morning and drive it home the afternoon.
We can be contacted on sales@c-teq.co.za
We are temporarily based in Bellville while our workshop is being shop fitted in Montague Gardens.
