NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Posted by B Millar [Email] (#1109) [Profile/Gallery] (more from B Millar) on Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:57:29 In Reply to: Pressure washing engine compartment, Bruce, Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:54:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Never ever pressure wash your engine compartment. Woah, glad I caught you. It seems like a good idea, right? Everything in the engine compartment is water proof... But NOT when you start blasting water into it under high pressure. Water will work its way past those rubber seals in electrical connectors, mess with sensors, short stuff out, etc., etc... I did the engine bay on my '01 9-5 V6 last year using an old rag, some diluted Simple Green, a water spray bottle, and then a trickling garden hose on the lower half. It took a little longer but it looked really nice when I was done with it. Good luck!
