Engine wash

[JAYarc]

kerosen or any gasoline base as cleaning agent is big no no, even engine degreaser unless tight ung budget OK make sure to apply protectant & must completely rinse off specially plastic and rubberized part even paints on engine bay..

[OTEP]

Sa Big Bert's they can do engine cleaning without using a hose.

I do like to have my engine cleaned from time to time just to get the mud off.

[Stat5bot]

sa Bigberts ka magpa engine wash siguradong walang bad effects hehehe sabay ganun e!

engine degreaser ang gamitin mo =)

oo nga. ano ba yung intervals ng engine wash hindi ko din kasi alam?

[router]

dito kasi samin palaging baha kaya panay ang pa engine wash ko (weekly)... then it came to a point na parang humina hatak makina ko so i suspect dahil sa kaka engine wash ito... there was a point na pati yung sparkplugs nag tutubig.. hindi ko alam kung sa baha o sa kaka engine wash... medyo dumalang na engine wash ko since then... ;)

Ok lang naman basta marunong yung mag engine wash hindi lang tira nang tira.

once a month pwede na siguro or every 2 months ka pa engine wash.

[momoyster]

it depends. if the engine bay is really filthy, an engine wash will definitely be good for the engine, provided you cover all the delicate electrical parts. if the engine only has minor dirt/dust, wiping it with a damp cloth would suffice. =)

[karlbo]

madalas punas lang ginagawa ko eh, na may kaunitng degreaser... madalang ako magpaengine wash.. pag kailangang kailangan lang yung tipong madumi talaga...

Awts! I would suggest na iwasan ito lalo na pag gas ang sasakyan. Baka mabasa mga electronic parts.

Punas-punas na lang o best compressor/air gun/handheld blower. Apply protectants(ArmourAll and the likes) sa mga hoses kung trip mo.

Malalaman sira ng sasakyan? Ang lau!

pagmalinis engine bay, mas madaling makita ung mga tagas at syempre mas masarap ayusin dahil malinis.

Do you know how much they charge for this service? How long will the cleaning take?

[funkngruvn]

pano sa MB100 sir? parang mahirap ata ipa-engine wash? baka madamay interior?

[suv]

May nabasa ako dati na after magpa engine wash eh hindi na nagstart yung engine. Yung alternator daw natamaan.

[washburn]

how about yung intercooler mga sir? di ba pwedeng mabasa yun?
I have my own pressure washer, safe bang combo yun w/ degreaser kahit na nakatakip na yung mga critical components? sorry for my noob question

[augustus]

washburn, okay lang yan. i use non toxic degreaser and use a pressure washer.
Firstly turn on the engine until it is warm to the touch and then turn it off.
Cover all necessary parts (air intake, electrical, etc).
Pressure wash to remove dust and dirt.
Spray degreaser and wait for about 5 minutes.
Rinse with pressure washer. Repeat if necessary.

mine pina engine washko dito sa petron station samin, around P145.00 lang ginastos ko.. even though petron gas station lang siya, aus naman ung nag e-engine wash, kasi kailala ko na din (ung nag-eengine wash) and siya na din nag eengine wash sa auto ko since... kung magpapa engine wash ka hanap ka ng marunong, wag lang basta basta, im not saying na petron ako, petron na din ang hahanapin mo, magtanong tanong ka ng may kakilala... kasi ako kahit petron kakilala ko naman at alam ko na alam niya gagawin niya.... Nothing beats the Peace of Mind... always go to your trusted, kahit hindi ganun kakilala basta trusted mo...

[VtEC]

so malaki talaga ang risk ng engine wash.dapat pala talaga pagtyagaan mo nalang linisin ng tutbrush at basahan.malinis nga engine baka naman gumastos kapa tsk tsk.

[roninblade]

never had any incident after an engine wash. of course marunong kasi yung pinupuntahan ko and i sort of supervise the work. hehehehe. siguro once or twice a year ko ginagawa 'to depending on the amount of dirt in the engine bay.

Just be careful and always have an engine wash when the engine is cold. Somehow I don't like the idea of cold water being poured on to the hot engine. Diesels with the mechanical injection pumps should also avoid this, the IP's hate the drastic change in temperature. Although a slightly warm engine might help to loosen up the grime, it's best to play it safe.

I use an engine degreaser myself, but when push comes to shove I take a few hours with a paint cleaner and some other products and go about rubbing and cleaning individual exposed engine parts so it will all look presentable.

[non-vtec]

When is best time to start the engine wash? does a 15 minute cool down period enough? Something's bothering me kasi. I noticed that last two cars that I owned(puro 2nd hand) are using locally made(evercool/motorco). both only lasted 2 years and may leak na. Engine wash every 3 months.

Does a hot radiator+engine wash=premature leak of radiator?
