Engine Cleaning

[GaleVTR]

Morning peeps,

Anyone know a place in the Cambridgeshire that will steam clean your engine for you?

[WestyVTR]

there is a place called elbow grease city! its usually situated just outside ur house

[GaleVTR]

Never heard of them! Are they any good or just cowboys trying to make a few beans?

Gale Mo's motors do steam cleaning, but it is better just to use elbow grease and a bit of hard work because they can remove oil from where you dont want it to be removed. Remember on my Megane when they done it for about 1k miles the gears were well hard to change.

Hassle,

Oil has got everywhere, lol. looks like a job for mister muscle!

I tend to clean mine with jet wash after i been driving - warm engine dries it off quicker.

bit of engine cleaner by autoglym sprayed around then blast it off with the mist setting not the high power effort.

watch out for electrics obviously but most of em are sealed up anyways

done this on me R19 and me saxo with no issues. comes up really clean too then bit of polish to the slam panel woudlnt go amiss. fitting more chrome goodies to me engine bay this week so its getting a good clean soon as well

Actually that reminds me gale those oaks on the a14 do steam cleaning engines. But you can do it yourself for free, lol.

[GaleVTR]

Thats an idea, forgot about the forgein guys on the A14, will take it to them!

i do mine my self with my mates steamer. not done my new sax though.

Got a pressure washer, will that do? Is it just a case of cover the induction with a carry bag & cover any loss electrical wires! Then getting spray happy!
