Where i live i got some 151 engine car pride for £1 and use a hot jet wash for £2 works a treat. The secret is keep the engine running and every so often stop for a few moments and let the engine sort it self out mine works all the time i do it 4-5 times a year :) Lee :wave:

USE TRAFFIC FILM REMOVER (amazing at taking off brake dust too ) all as u do is spray it on , i use a wd40 squerter (4got how to spell) fill it up and spray it on neat .leave it for bout 30min and wash it off .comes up clean .its amazing and cheap too!!!!!!!! take my advice and use it.

your all crazy! i had a bad experience with my old pug scooter! i jet washed it and fryed the ECU, cost me £200.
take it to a place that does steam cleaning

i used Mr Muscle and Ajax on my engine cover, worked quite nicely

i did what fad did,
just cover up the
battery, distributer cap, alternator and wirings.

gunk everywhere and jet spray :)

i couldn't be arsed with brasso lol, will try it next time.

or get it steam cleaned @ garage

just remove the battery, cover the alternator, the dizzy cap and any exposed wiring.

then spray gunk all over the engine bay then jet wash off.

be carefull when removing the covers cos water may leak onto the electrical parts.

i jet sprayed the engine of my old mk2 golf. couldn't start it afterwards cos all the electrics were soaked.
couldn't you just get rid of the gunk with a wet sponge or something, would obviously take longer but dunno if you'd get the same results.

Use brasso on the exposed metal parts........ie: rocker cover etc. brings em up a treat!

I took mine 4 an engine clean at a carwash and all they did was spray it wiv a jetgun... jus hav som wd40 ready coz ur engine wont start once u done it, u need 2 keep tryin till u get it runnin then leave it 2 run and warm up.

My engine needs a clean as theres a fair bit of oil and crap all over it.

Bought some of this Gunk stuff in a spray can, it instructs you to use a strong jet of water to get rid of it all after its done its stuff.

I'm really not wanting to get a hosepipe in my engine. Tried to cover up the electrics but water is bound to get all over them.

What have all you lot done?

Shall I just spray the Gunk and hope for the best?
