    Sorry, diko alam kung nasa tamang forums ako. Tanung ko lang specially sa mga naka Mitsubishi mirage dyan kung okay lang mag engine wash ng walang tinatakpan na engine parts? Kung meron man akong dapat takpan, alin alin po yun?

    Salamat.

    You want to cover battery terminals and the alternator. The fuse box, ecu and scan port must also be covered.

    Some use cling wrap or towels to cover these electrical components.

    You want a brush to remove all the mud and grime together with a degreaser or joy solution.

    I dont own like a ride like what's your. But I assume, you just like your engine bay to look neat and clean. Engine washing is ok. It is better pa nga, kung isabay mo na lang kapag nagpa under wash ka. Mabobombahan ng linis rin ilalim ng engine bay, pati mga condenser at radiator mo malilinis rin ng husto.

    Never EVER have engine washed, too many things can go wrong. Water and moisture can go in areas where they are not supposed to go in to. Your connectors might rust if moisture remains there.

    Even in the casa? Because the last time I bought my gen 10 in for PMS, my SA said it needs an engine wash because it was so dirty.

    Personally i'll go for the old ways of cleaning the engine bay by using blowers and wipe with a clean rag.

    Though electical connectors today isnt the same of those one built a decade ago, its weather sealed but still not waterproof.

    Ang gandang pagmasdan, kapag bagong engine wash. Kalinis tignan, bagamat it is more than a 10 year old vehicle.

    most parts in the engine bay are rust proof.
