tomflyer Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 eveyone will probably yell at me for this but i've always used a bit of maintenence (sp?) on a rag and gone over the black plastics a few times engine bay wise DO NOT PRESSURE WASH THE ENGINE BAY AS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY GAIN A MISSFIRE (as has happened countless numbers of times at my work by polish valeters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I do the same as Tom. When you spill a bit of oil when your filling/topping it up, give that a wipe round the plastics and they look all nice and clean.Most of the plastics can be removed from the engine bay so you can give it a good wash out of the car and not have to worry about the electrics.

b19jow Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Might be worth a try to use a steam cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
