I also asked for a breakdown of the misc but my SA said she can't break that down anymore.
This is the reason she said for decarbonizing "Every 20k lang po un ginagawa mam ha, cleaning intake and fuel system mo to prevent black smoke and high fuel consumption "
My friend made a comment about my SA's text that made me immediately text my SA to exclude the decarbonizing. Hahaha.

April 8th, 2017 12:56 AM #4636There are several ways of "decarbonizing".
1) The simplest is to "redline" it as others here have suggested. Doing this produces enough combustion inside the engine to force carbon deposits out. Its fine if the deposits are relatively loose and have not bonded to the engine yet. Its relatively easy though and doesn't cost much. Pick an expressway with no traffic (Good Friday is usually a good time). As soon as you get past the tollgate, go into 1st gear of manual mode, gently accelerate to about 5k rpm and hold it for one minute. Then upshift normally (or go back into D mode if you're driving an automatic) and cruise the rest of the expressway way at the speed limit, and at as constant a speed as possible.
2) Another way is to either inject alcohol-based chemicals into your fuel line, or steam into your air cleaner. This will loosen carbon deposits and force them out of the exhaust. Supposedly more effective than redlining, but still can't get rid of deposits deeply embedded in the engine. I suspect this is what your casa is charging you 3k for. You're paying for specialized equipment and/or chemicals.
3) The most radical is to take the cylinder head off and scrape off the carbon deposits. Very invasive and time consuming. This is why most would only have this done during a complete overhaul or headworks.
For now, I suggest you just do 1) at least once a year, or just before oil changes. Holy Week and Christmas holidays when traffic is light is a good chance to do this.

April 15th, 2017 12:44 AM #4639if the car has comprehensive insurance, let the insurance worry about it.
of course, you may have to pay for the "upgrade" or whatever insurance word they use.
as a last resort, you might want to try "tahi". the worker will sew it back, making sure the sutures are not too obvious under the re-paint.
