Ive been playing with the idea of cleaning my engine as i want it in tip top form. The problem is, cleaning an engine bay may be one of the worst jobs on the earth!! i hate it!!!
Would a steam clean be a good way to go or is it bad for the engine? If so (bad for the engine), whats the best stuff i could use one my engine bay to get it looking as clean as possible. Ive heard Gunk (prob spelt wrong!) is the best thing going. Is this correct. cheers :cheers:
water water everywhere
in all the electrics... nice
a guy at work killed his escort van trying it with a hot lance type cleaner,mines minging,but it runs just fine,rather it that way tbh;)
When a garage was investigating an oil leak on my MK2 they steam cleaned it, looks lovely but has got into the throttle cable somewhere and now sticks on ocations.
Gunks pretty good - used it for a while after i bought the car. Looked so good that i wanted to keep it that way.
Can't be ar*ed now tho - never see it!
:cheers:

pull the cable off at the engine end - see if it sticks still
if it does WD40 down the end of it works a treat
or stop being tight and fit a new one :p
