vaderman Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hi guys, Just wondering, has anyone pressure washed their engine-bay before, if so any probs? My mates got a really good steamer and I did one of my old cars a long time ago, but Im more worried about doing something like the Sup. Cheers.

Havard Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I was speaking to Shytot about this a couple of weeks ago and his frowns led me to believe that it wasn't the best of ideas! I'd love a really clean engine bay but I don't want to fook the car up in doing it.... I have started cleaning it by hand but you can't get into a lot of the nooks and crannies! H.

jazz1 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 i woudnt do any i had to wash mine with the steam clean as the bas*ard rat poood everywhere, its best to remove most things you can out of the engine like the stock box and pipes and clean everything seperate thats what im doing now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikbrunt Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 im sure if you cover anything electrical with plastic bags and an elastic band it should be fine? have done it to previous car fine... as above keep it running though.

Darragh Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 get someone to sit in the car spray engine cleaner all over it and powerhose away just avoid the top of the engine (in between the cams) while you are spraying the person in the car holds a nice steady rev and keeps it there for a few seconds afteer uve stoped washing the heat of the engine will evaporate the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
