Inlet Manifold Cleaning in Sheffield
At The Inlet Manifold Cleaning Co we clean inlet manifolds using our giant ultrasonic cleaning system and a low temperature kiln to bring your unit back to near manufacturers spec when it was new. We're the only company in the U.K. to offer this system of cleaning inlet manifolds and our system is tried and tested ... we also clean DPF's and EGR Coolers using the same system having cleaned over 6000 DPF's and over a 1000 EGR Coolers nationally, we're well respected amongst the motoring community.
Don't believe that carbon cleaning or some cleaning solution you've seen online will clean a truly blocked Inlet Manifold, it won't. We own our own carbon cleaner and it doesn't touch the hard, deep carbon deposits, we've also tested the top five solutions on the market and found them to be pretty much a waste of time too.
At an average price of just £189 plus VAT, why don't you get the job done properly the first time, saving you time and money. We have a "No Clean No Fee" policy, if we can't clean it, we don't charge you a penny. What have you got to lose?

Method.
Firstly we pre weigh the Inlet Manifold, followed by immersion into our ultrasonic tank. (This can take multiple phases until the Inlet Mainfold is is fully unblocked and internal surfaces are inspected with our inspection camera. The Inlet Manifold is then low temperature baked in our kiln to turn any micro into low grade ash. The Inlet Manifold is then reweighed to check how much solid carbon deposits have been removed and this is then logged on your return paperwork.
Carbon deposits removed from your Inlet Manifold can vary depending on the amount of blockage and the size of the part, commercial vehicle Inlet Manifold Cleaning gives a different yield of deposits because of the size of the parts vary in size in comparison to a car, van or 4x4.
Symptoms
The intake manifold is an essential part of the car engine. It is a series of tubes that attach to several engine components and delivers air to the cylinders or combustion chamber. Along with air delivery, the intake manifold also is a passageway for the fuel mixture, and distributes both the air and fuel to the cylinders. When the intake manifold becomes dirty, it shows specific symptoms during engine operation.
Idle
One of the first signs or problems that develop when an intake manifold is dirty occurs when the engine is idling. The smooth sound that you generally hear after turning on the engine is replaced by an intermittent sound. The idle begins to run roughly because of dirt or debris affecting the air and fuel mixture running through the intake manifold. The fuel filter does not remove all the foreign objects found in gasoline. These minute particles can attach themselves to the intake manifold, interrupting the flow of air and fuel into the combustion chamber of the engine.
Stall
Many times a dirty intake manifold will cause the automobile to stall when decelerating. As you come to a stop, the dirt and debris prevents the air and fuel mixture from entering the engine compartments. Once the flow of air and fuel is interrupted, the engine stalls and dies when stopping.
Miss
A dirty intake manifold can also cause one or more cylinders to miss. A miss on a cylinder occurs when it is not being properly ignited during operation. Not all dirt and debris affects the entire intake manifold. Dirt can infect only one of the tubes providing air and fuel to one cylinder head. Since that cylinder is not getting ignited, the engine compensates for the loss in power by jumping over the missing cylinder. This causes the engine to stop turning for a short time. The stoppage is so minute that it does not shut the engine off, but you can hear the problem cylinder not engaging.
Coughing
A lot of times a dirty intake manifold will cause the engine to cough, which is caused by the lack of fuel mixture and air entering one or more combustion chambers. The dirt or debris has not cut off the flow of air or fuel, but limits the amount required to fully ignite the cylinder. The lack of air and fuel causes the engine to cough or backfire. The dirt limits the fuel and air, but does it inconsistently. The cylinder alternately receives a small amount of air and fuel penetrating the dirt, and then a lot of fuel and air penetrating the dirt. The inconsistent amount creates the coughing sound.
Carbon
One major problem with an intake manifold is carbon building up inside the tubes of the component. The warm air oxidizes the fuel mixture over time creating carbon that develops inside the manifold tubes. The carbon can block an entire tube and cause all the symptoms previously mentioned, as well as prevent the engine from even starting. Carbon is a gummy stuff that will stick to every part of the engine. It can infect the fuel injectors, cylinders, pistons and every part of the intake manifold.
