What is a Walnut Blast?

A walnut blast typically refers to a procedure used to clean carbon buildup from the intake valves and combustion chambers of a gasoline engine.

This carbon buildup can occur over time as a result of incomplete combustion and the recirculation of exhaust gases in vehicles equipped with direct fuel injection systems.

If you notice symptoms such as rough idle, poor acceleration, decreased fuel efficiency, or a noticeable decrease in engine performance, it might be an indication that carbon buildup has become a problem in your vehicle's engine. However, not all vehicles will require a walnut blast, as modern engine designs and fuel additives can help mitigate carbon buildup to some extent.

It's important to consult your vehicle's owner's manual and follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. Some manufacturers might suggest performing a walnut blast at certain mileage intervals or when specific symptoms arise. If you're unsure about whether your car needs a walnut blast, it's a good idea to consult a qualified mechanic who can assess your vehicle's condition and recommend appropriate maintenance procedures.

At Matipo Garage, located in Addington, we have the expertise to help you decide if your vehicle requires a Walnut Blast and the experience to perform it. Contact us on 03 348 5358 or Email us to discuss admin@matipogarage.co.nz

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger is pushing to use a lane of traffic for hospital car parking, while opposing doing the same to create a cycleway on Park Tce.

The Christchurch City Council will on Wednesday consider Mauger’s plan to temporarily close one lane of traffic on part of Hagley Ave and Riccarton Ave. It will also make the final decision on whether to keep a temporary cycleway on Park Tce, which Mauger has heavily criticised in the past.

At the hospital he was proposing the council trial the lane closure for up to 10 days before making a final decision. Such a test was not done with Park Tce, he said. In a mayor’s report to the council, Mauger said the 10-day trial would allow time to assess options for increasing on-street car parking.
