Engine cleaning

[Grims_Puma]

Can you jet wash a Puma engine? I decided my engine bay was nasty (and there is an oil leak somewhere so a clean up will help me find the culprit) I took a sponge and some fairy liquid to it this morning and the top looks rather impressive now still a lot more to go thouogh.
Has anyone jet washed theirs before? help would be appreciated thanks

Always a danger of drowning the electrics which isn't a good idea. Keep at it with the sponge and possibly some spray on "Gunk" or something.

wd40 works well

yeah i jet wash mine, just cover up the alternator and battery and just be careful, if you have a steam cleaner at home then they are a lot better.

Yeah I have heard Gunk mentioned a few times now, I really need something that can get at all the bitty areas as I had an oil leak which got everywhere I'll try a jet wash but just be selective where I spray

Never jet-washed my Puma engine but have done on a previous car with no ill effect.

I sprayed a load of Gunk on first and then just gave it a quick blow over.

Just noticed your sig' as well. Alamingly similar to mine! :lol:
