140ps
Faz - The foam was aggitated using brushes, and rinsed using a hosepipe, so no forced pressure/water into the electrics. No issues either.

I always thought shoving a load of water under the bonnet from a hosepipe was a bad thing?

With certain cars its advisable not to do it, but with a lot of modern German cars i've been told its okay.
Not a good idea to do it with Porshces because of the amount of places water can gather and sit.

I assume so. It looks like he knows what he's doing.
Here's a bit of info about washing engine bays if you want to know more.

 Very nice motor.
Where do you get the snowfoam from and how do you use it? Looks a really good idea.

Autobrite iirc. circa £45 for the lance attachment, and £15 for the foam, although any shampoo would have similar results i think

I drove a 140hp Diesel with DSG last week and didn't like it  Didn't feel like 140hp, didn't seem to be much quicker than my Ibiza. Also DSG is poo, I thought it would have some sort of feel to it, but its just like playing gran turismo on the PS2, push a button and it changes, couldn't really feel the change either.
Would like a blast in a manual though
