Terraclean, any good?

Hi folks,

I recently stumbled across a company called Terraclean. They provide a service (which takes approx 1 hour), which they describe as: "TerraClean is a unique decarbonisation technology which makes a significant improvement to the Emissions, MPG and Driveability/Performance of your vehicle." Basically, it is a hydrogen based clean-up of your engine. http://www.terraclean.co.uk is their website.

My local branch that provides this service is in Aberdeen, however, I believe there are a number of branches throughout the UK.

I contacted them for a quote and they replied stating the service would cost £132, which is reasonable if what they claim is accurate.

They claim that this hydrogen based service has little to no chance in causing any damage to your engine and that it improves MPG, Performance, Emissions, etc as stated above.

Has anyone had any dealings with this company or had a similar treatment done on their car? If so, is it worth doing?

I have read legitimate reviews from customers, who all claim that this service has made significant differences to their vehicles.

I had it done on my 320d. Made no difference, of which i could tell anyway. Supposedly diesel cars are the type your meant to see the biggest difference with which i now dont believe lol

Thanks Jam127. Don't want to waste money on something that'll make no difference. Do they clean the engine bay or doesn't it make any difference on that either?

save your cash.

Its only an internal treatment, if you want to clean the bay, TFR and a jetwash

Just fit a water/meth injection kit and this cleaning process happens all the time.

You have to have something that needs cleaning out and is actively causing problems with your mpg etc. before anything like this can possibly have an effect. It can only ever try to restore what you have lost, despite the adverts being worded in such a way to make you think it magics up horsepower out of thin air.

Mmmm, based on that thread you sent me Fitz, might be worth just doing it. Be good to clean it out regardless. Can't do any harm!

Seriously? You're a mug then. Enjoy your "high refined fuel that has been modified and the atoms split and converted into nano atoms then the machine adds a nevgitive charge to them."

waste of time mine was no real difference apart form wallet being lighter.

Might be better saving your brass and spending it on a full tank of Shell V-power Nitro.Made a noticeable difference on my NA.

That's all I ever put in my NA.

We have this machine at work It is a good cleaner and does remove carbon deposits if used as a preventive maintenance tool on servicing. but if you have a vehicle with a heavy deposit of carbon in the intake system then its not very efficient and will cause issues as carbon deposits travel down into the combustion chamber and then into exhaust system, it will clean the system but you have to keep pumping more and more chemical cleaner into it and we have found to use approx. 6 ltr of cleaner and 1ltr of rinse agent to get a vehicle clean with a material cost of just over £100 and then you have a additional cost of the fuel injector cleaner, also I used this on my brothers high mileage bmw530d which caused the throttle body to fail as the chemical manage to pass the seal into the printed circuit board.

Went to speak to them a few days ago! Just got a lot of w##k speak from the guy! Didn't fill me with a great deal of confidence so gonna give it a miss!
