I remember seeing the episode of Wheeler Dealers where he used the Terraclean system and was pretty intrigued tbh, what's it actually cost to have done?

Ive been reading about this on other forums some people say its bad as your cleaning all the carbon away from the valves which the valve seats have worn into as u normally reseat valves after a cylinder head recon but no one who has had the terraclean has said anything negative about it i think its about 80 to 100 pounds

I read on one of the forums that it is about £85 to have it done.  I wonder if anyone has it it done to their

car on here :cool:

I would be interested if it was a no cost trial



than again an 8v engine is only £100 so it dosent really matter if it dies!!

Yeah true, but more expensive :smiley:

Ive just received an email from the nearest technician to me and was told prices start at £90 which is too much if you ask me.

Post by: Foreveryoungaus16v on 05 April 2013, 16:10

Bloody hell that is expensive, what else did they say?

Nothing apart from calling them up to discuss / book options.

Post by: xionsolaris on 05 April 2013, 16:41

They do make alot of bold claims like your car will be just like it rolled out of the factory

It would be handy if someone got the terra clean and then took the head off their car to see the difference
