To carbon clean or not to clean
Discussion
Hi, I have a 1.4 TFSI Audi A3 (had since new in 2015) and its not feeling as powerful or smooth these days as it once was.
I've been considering getting it carbon cleaned, is this a good idea, or worth getting done?
It had a full check at Audi earlier this month and was last serviced six months ago. It is driven two hours a day, including on the motorway.
Any opinions or other ideas are greatly appreciated

Carbon cleans from terraclean and similar are 100% a complete waste of money.
Different companies exist but its the same s

It probably is just as fast as before. You're just used to it. Try a few tanks of high octane fuel. Or maybe it's had some revised engine firmware from Audi.
If you want you can have the inlet manifold removed and walnut blast but it's not going to turn the car into a rocket ship.
I bet on a dyno it would make the claimed figures.

Thanks, I'll try the high octane fuel for a couple of weeks. I did wonder if there might be an issue with the turbo, it's definitely not accelerating as it did. Different companies exist but its the same s
