Anyone jet washed their bay?
vRStu:
I keep my engine bay clean with regular jet washing.
Just apply common sense and don't spray directly at the E-Box.
Boothy:
I wouldn't go near my engine with a jet if my life depended on it. A week after the bodyshop jet washed my bay I had all sorts of squeaky noises coming from the engine and then my aircon compressor when kaput costing a rather substantial fee to put.right. I'm sure it could be coincidental but I don't think it was.
For that reason and that reason alone no jet was is ever gonna see my engine bay again.
S2 Ant:
Just use some engine cleaner type stuff and a brush and a cloth where necessary to clean up bits then rinse with an open ended hose, you shouldnt really need to pressure wash it and doing it like this should do the job without forcing water in to places its best not to

Not for me either but:

Im sure there have been a few incidents on this forum of water getting in the the coil packs and causing damage one which resulted in a fire...
If we had perspex bonnets then i could see the point in cleaning it but we don't and the tfsi engine aint exactly a work of art
Drive it dont detail it :wink:
