Re: Wash engine compartment
Washing the engine compartment is perfectly fine. I do it every other month.
As long as you dont hose into the ECU compartment, and areas just behind the headlight asssembly, its ok. Most of the sensative electrical components are already covered up.
I always do the following:
1) Tape up with glap warp/or whatever to cover exposed wires if i find any. (Not many)Also thighten&secure all caps, clamps, covers etc..
2) Using controlled small amount of water - lighty spray over. Apply Engine degreaser or engine detergent.
3 Scrub clean dirty areas
5) Rinse with Water.
6) Dry the Engine up. Air jet spray dry if possible.
7) Apply ARMOUR ALL to all rubbuer hose, seals, covers etc...
8) Admire.
If lazy, just go down to the workshops and have them clean it for you! THey will really hose it down with water and dry it with air jet! 20Mins Job. Inexpensive. BVO and J4C are just some of those shops will does it regularly.
