    Good honest unbiased opinion Jimmy 👍
    I’ve always thought the only way to clean the oily carbon build up is to disassemble the inlet components and clean them manually, anything else is just a temporary fix which will still leave a surface which will attract the buildup to happen again quicker, obviously the cost involved in this method is expensive but if you can do it yourself it’s the best route to go.

    The only way to remove carbon build up off the intake valves etc is a wall nut blaster. It just means the inlet manifold needs to be removed. It’s amazing how much power is taken away from an engine when it is suffering from carbon build up. Carb cleaner and small brushes work well on other parts like the throttle body etc.

    I totally agree, I have done tests on 5 cars, with HHO for 1 to 2 hours per car. Diesel and petrol. Did a check of intake, egr, combustion chambers, spark plugs and dpf and dyno runs before and after. No changes at all! On a 2 liter diesel it compensates for 1% of the fuel necessary for running on idle. And it was a heavy 3kW HHO generator, producing way more bubbles than the one shown here. Total snake oil marketing! Invest in good quality additives like WYNNS, built for the purpose you need!

    Interesting video Jimmy. I have always been skeptical about these machines and if they do anything. Ive manually cleaned the inlet manifold on my Audi SQ5 TDI twice in the 50,000miles ive had it and have used various products (petrol, brake cleaner, degreaser etc) to see what is most effective, but found throttle body and carburettor cleaner to work the best. Apparently oven cleaner also works well but I havent tried it yet.
    Regular manual cleaning, plus fitting a good quality Mann & Hummel catch can is the only way to keep ontop of the carbon buildup in my experience. Also using the best quality diesel and giving the car regular heavy throttle applications to reduce the EGR being open as much.

    Pretty much as you said Jimmy, it won't do anything at all for the intake side of the engine as the hydrogen needs to combust before it has any sort of effect.
    I've always had good results from hho carbon cleaning but it us offered as preventative maintenance. It's very effective at freeing off sticking turbo veins. I offer a chemical based intake clean as well as the hydrogen which obviously has a greater effect on intake systems and egr valves.

    Always enjoy your videos but you’ve stuck your head above the parapet with this one Jimmy! If you solve this controversy then there’s probably a peace prize in it for you.
    In my humble experience of owning turbo diesel cars over the last 20 years, then buying the better diesel definitely slows down the build-up in the intake in the first place. Either that or buying 2EHN and putting it in the tank with regular city diesel (which amounts to the same thing).
    In both cases there the combustion is much more complete and so there is less to come back via the EGR.
    Appreciate that’s of no help when you have a customer with a clogged intake, but as a preventative it seems to work for me. Also the Italian tune up (i.e. ragging its arse off at least once a week when warm also seems to make it run smoother afterwards).
    I’ve been told by a few people (i.e. I don't know for sure) that if I buy the cheapest / simplest water injection kit (there are a few kits which are less than 300) then that water mist which gets sucked through the intake after the MAF will (over a period of time) wash away most of the carbon sludge in the intake and also steam clean the back of the valves.
    Could one of those maybe be a future video? Where you fit one of those to one of the fleet and update with findings. That could be a great series of videos. It might even turn into a lucrative side line in fitting them to your subscriber’s cars…

      I think the biggest point here is that the launch cleaner probably does the same thing on the cylinder heads and turbo as this hydrogen cleaner claims to do. I think when Jimmy runs this through the intake, you would probably see very similar results in the combustion chamber, so there really is no point in much additional testing.

      I have seen videos where, during the cleaning little chunks of carbon were coming out of the exhaust pipe onto the ground. so yes, I would imagine those chunks go straight to the DPF. if a lot of them build up and it tries to region on the road, it can cook it into place.
      (update) so there's no confusion the carbon chunks coming out of the tailpipe were on a gas engine without a catalytic converter to stop the debris. A DPF is designed to stop debris.....

You should have checked the valves and injector tips and piston crowns and the hot side for a before and after shot, the EGR won’t move if you don’t rev it but a engine carbon clean is a preventative procedure not a cure as it would have removed a soot buildup off the EGR but not the sticky marmite, same on the intake side, only a preventative.

    These machine clean the hot side of the engine 👍🏽 most noticeable differences before and after are increase in responsiveness and smoothness and quietness of the engine. 👍🏽
    Been doing carbon cleaning for around 4 years now my results have shown anything over 100k benefits most from Atleast a 90min clean with reving every 5-10mins.
    The carbon cleaning processes are more of a maintenance then a full clean getting it done annually is best for keeping the carbon deposits down in the engine👍🏽
    Doesn’t clean the egr or intake manifold only the hot side so combustion chamber- exhaust valves and hot side turbo and out the exhaust.
    Many say it will help clean the DPF but actually blocks it with the soot from the engine. When I do DPF cleaning I recommend getting the carbon cleaning done before the DPF clean so that the soot created from the cleaning is cleaned out 👌🏽👍🏽

    Launch are going to put their DPF cleaning fluid up in price on Jimmy now . For all the lost revenue on their redundant carbon cleaning machine. Whoever owns one of these might as well have an old Sun tuning machine in the corner..😁
