    Pay attention to cleaning the engine compartment, and make sure that the car is turned off before cleaning the engine compartment。If it is a hot car, the owner only needs to open the hood and let the car sit for about 20 minutes to clean. Do not clean the engine when it is hot, as alternating hot and cold is likely to damage the engine.

    Necessary waterproofing treatment should be carried out before cleaning. There are a number of wiring harnesses and electronic modules in the engine compartment. Although they waterproofed the vehicle before leaving the factory, the vehicle has been in use for a long time.

    Due to the adhesion of the ash layer and sludge, it is inevitable that there will be line aging and waterproofing function will deteriorate.

    Cover the engine with a large towel first, then clean the cover, use a tool spray can, spray water to clean the cover metal plate, you can get wet but not too much water, then spray with oil, then brush the oil with the details, and even use a toothbrush to clean some gaps and dead corners, so the brush is cleaner, and finally dry the metal plate with a dry cloth, and then remember to dry the soundproof cotton so that the cover is clean. Then remove the towel, find a plastic bag to cover the electronic module, rinse the engine compartment with clean water for a week, and then rinse again with the all-purpose cleaner. The corners should be brushed with a small brush, and the deeper details should be brushed with a toothbrush.

    After the engine compartment is cleaned, wipe the surface water with a towel and then spray the engine plastic and rubber parts. Finally, the engine compartment is closed and the vehicle is started for about 15 minutes to raise the engine temperature and evaporate the moisture in the cabin. If the accumulation of dirt in the engine compartment reaches a certain level, on the one hand, it will reduce the heat dissipation function of the engine compartment, increase fuel consumption, and accelerate the aging of accessories.

    It can cause some line failures or short circuits. At high temperatures, it ignites flirtatious traces of leakage from cracked tubing and leads to spontaneous combustion. Therefore, the engine compartment also needs to be cleaned regularly, usually once a year.

    On the one hand, it looks clean and the heart is comfortable.

    Cleaning the engine compartment can also check and care for some lines and oil pipes, effectively slow down the aging rate of circuits, rubber pipes and other components, remove metal rust or sludge, reduce the probability of spontaneous combustion, and improve the service life of the original engine parts. There will be a lot of dust and dirt in the engine compartment of the car for a long time. Whenever you check the oil and see that the engine compartment is so dirty, you will have the idea of cleaning.

    Here, praise your friends for cherishing the working conditions of the vehicle should be good, which can not only reduce the failure rate of the engine compartment to a certain extent.

    Seeing the dust-covered engine compartment, there was an urge to rinse with a high-pressure water gun, but there were a lot of old drivers who convinced us, that is,Our engine compartment cannot be cleaned with water, otherwise it is easy to cause missing cylinders or faulty circuits in the vehicle。But it's really true, and I can say with certainty that the best way to clean the engine compartment is with a high-pressure water gun, and a series of problems after cleaning the engine compartment are due to improper operation.

    If the car body is dirty, you should wash the car, and if the interior is dirty, you can also clean it, if the engine compartment is dirty, should it be cleaned? In fact, there are many people who have this question like you, and the answer given is ......

    People who like to ponder the car will wipe the car by themselves, and clean up the inside and outside of the car from time to time, but when you open the front hood, you may see the engine and various pipe parts covered by a thick layer of dust, which is simply unbearable for people with cleanliness habits, but you can't start cleaning it yourself.

    Therefore, more people will choose to go to a professional car beauty shop, but after asking, they find that engine compartment cleaning is not cheap. Generally, the cleaning work that is not too dirty will cost more than 100 yuan, and if it is very dirty, it may cost two or three hundred yuan, so is it necessary to spend money on engine compartment cleaning?

    First of all, after the cleanup, how will you react the moment you open the front cover? Is it a shock from the effect of the cleanup, is it saying in your heart, "Is this still my car?" "A clean engine compartment gives you a good mood and of course a good driving experience.

    Secondly, it should be emphasized that the engine compartment is not sealed, which means that the air can enter and exit at will, and in the process of air entering and exiting, it will bring a large amount of dust and debris, and over time, the dust will become a layer of hard shell and solidify on the parts, wires, oil roads, plus leaves and other debris, and may damage the parts of the engine compartment. Therefore, in order to reduce losses, cleanup is necessary.

    Thirdly, regular cleaning of the engine compartment can detect possible problems in time, such as oil leaks, which is important to ensure the good condition of the vehicle. In addition, if there is an oil leakage, it must also be cleaned up in time, because this can reduce the corrosion caused by the leaking oil to the wires and pipelines.

    So, it's important to clean the engine compartment regularly, and if you can't afford to pay for it, you can do it yourself, which may not be great, but it's also an encourageable option.
