I’ve used Simple Green & a garden hose for 30 years …. Never a single problem.
I never clean inside the hood, I have a company that does it for me
Well my cars engine bay gets filled will an assortment of combustible powdered fertilizer and animal feeds, so yes it does need to be cleaned out. A brief power wash while it's still hot works great.
Well said!
I literally have washed every engine of every vehicle every time I have washed it.. Never had any issues.. anyone else ?
You are "right" in the sense that you shouldn't use a pressure washer on your engine bay. That is correct, you should never use pressure underneath your hood. However you can wash your engine with regular hose pressure as long as you wrap certain key connectors with aluminum foil keeping them from getting penetrated with water. From a professional detailer, if the car is 15 years old or older all you have to do is wrap the connectors with foil and you don't have an issue. Or wait 24 hours after you wash the engine and all the water dries up.
Freeze cleaning or hot steam but that's for super rare and super experience cars going to shows for big money and rewards !
My fusion 2017 the owner manual require to clean the engine every year. Since engine dissipate heat thru the metal. You have to be careful with the process. I always clean the engine, never had a issue.
Meh, it's fine to clean your engine IF you know how to do it and IF the car isn't old with worn seals on the electronics. Remove the battery, protect the ECU, and don't clean engines of older cars with computerized equipment. If you're unsure, just use a rag to touch up instead of hosing things down. If you don't know where the ECU and all of the sensors are, then don't do it. 😉
Like whistling diesel proved, water can only hurt an engine if it's in the oil. Sure grease can stop parts from rusting but it can also cause other problems. Spraying the bay every now and then ait gonna hurt a dang thing. Unless you're deliberately up close spraying electric parts and hoses and radiator fins
