I own a Ford Ecosport Diesel Turbo 1.5 TDCI and every morning when I start the car, I put it on neutral and rev it up to 6K RPM for just 3 sec and brings it back to normal idling without revving and start my usual normal drive. The intention is to clear any carbon deposits inside the engine and exhaust.
Now, is that a bad practice? My car is new and just done 14000 KM.
When I started to do this way, my car engine noise became less.
Please advise !

Yes, this may be bad. The oil is not yet at the operating temperature, and the same is true for engine parts as well. I wouldn't redline a cold engine with cold oil.
Your intention to clear carbon deposits is justified. But why don't you do this during a drive? That way, the engine and oil have had a chance to heat up to operating temperature.
By the way, are you sure the 6K RPM is the redline for your engine? Sounds a bit high for a diesel.

You are correct regarding the rev redline, it is 5, not 6. Thank you for responding.
