Walnut Blasting – Gloucester

What is walnut blasting?

Walnut shell blasting at 360 Automotive cleans the valves and intake ports, clearing out carbon build-up from direct injection engines. The blasting tool is a specialised piece of technology that we are fortunate to have at our workshop in Gloucester; it utilises pressurised air to shoot finely crushed walnut shells into the intake tract and these blast against the carbon at such velocity that it is completely cleared. At 360 Automotive we provide this service for inlet valves on TFSI and TDI VW Audi Group engines.

Does my car need its engine cleaning?

Yes, definitely. Carbon deposits build up over years and if they’re left untreated, they can lead to a loss of power, a reduction in fuel economy and poor drivability. How often you bring your car in for a walnut blasting service depends very much on the model you drive and the type of driving that you do – stop-start urban driving causes carbon to build up more quickly than motorway driving. No matter the type of driving that you do, most manufacturers would still recommend having the carbon removed roughly every 20,000 miles to maintain optimum performance from your vehicle. Bring your car into 360 Automotive in Gloucester for walnut shell blasting and enjoy the benefits.
