There is a lot of mud in the engine compartment, how to clean it, can it be washed with water

Hello, you can rinse with water when you cool the car.

The engine compartment cannot be flushed with water. This will cause short-circuit, oxidation, rust and other phenomena of the line. It brings great trouble to the later use of the engine.

The engine compartment is covered when used, even if it is dirty, it cannot be seen, and many car owners do not care about the engine compartment. But this view is wrong. In fact, the cleanliness of the engine compartment increases the safety hazard as the vehicle ages.

If the engine compartment is not cleaned regularly, oil and dust will accumulate in the engine compartment, which will directly affect the engine heat dissipation, so it is very necessary to clean the engine compartment. Can we clean it directly with water?

There are a lot of things in the engine compartment that are afraid of water. What's there? Afraid of water entering the intake pipe, the engine damage will be more serious, and then there is the fuse box, and then there is the engine computer!

Can the engine compartment be cleaned with a high-pressure water gun? In the car washing theory, it is completely possible to clean it directly with water. There are a lot of waterproofing measures inside the engine compartment, so as long as you don't wash it immediately after a long drive, there is generally no problem.

In addition, the water pressure should not be too high when cleaning. Although there are waterproof measures for internal sensor connectors, etc., water pressure is too high, which can easily lead to water ingress. If the car is more than six years old, do not rinse it directly with water, because many waterproof functions have been aged.

However, it is best not to rinse directly with water when washing. If there is a problem, it will be troublesome.

When cleaning, you can directly choose to spray some waterless detergent to take away the brush, and then use a towel to wipe off the oil and dust on it, which can ensure that it is clean and will not cause water to enter the circuit and other equipment.

What happens if you don't clean the engine compartment for a long time? When used for a long time, there will be a large amount of dust and oil stains in the engine compartment, which will greatly affect the heat dissipation effect of the engine. As the heat dissipation effect of the engine decreases, the temperature of the engine gradually increases.

Once the engine temperature is too high, it will cause damage to internal parts and, in severe cases, cylinder pulling. It will also corrode the wiring in the engine compartment, such as the air air filter and the air conditioning filter are in the engine compartment, if the dust on it is not cleaned, it will directly affect the performance of the air intake and air conditioning. Another benefit of cleaning the engine compartment is that the situation can be visualized in the event of a malfunction, and if there is an oil leak, it can be detected at a glance.

Therefore, it is very necessary to clean the engine compartment. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the car and the safety of the engine, it is best to wash it regularly.

Of course not. A car's engine is an important part of the car's operation, and if it is washed with water, it can cause damage.

Do not wash with water. It cannot be used because it will cause water to enter the engine once it is cleaned with water.

Glad for this question for everyone.

Many friends have to wash their cars every two weeks to keep their cars clean and tidy, but there are still many old drivers who don't know how to clean the stains in the engine compartment? Can I rinse it directly with water? Let's talk about it with you.

Many car owners know that the electrical component interface of the engine compartment of most vehicles is waterproof, but it should be noted that in many places it is customary to use high-pressure water guns to directly flush the engine compartment.

So, how exactly do you clean the engine compartment? What are the precautions?

1. If there is less dust in the engine compartment, it is recommended to wipe it with a wet rag and brush the gap.

2. The outside of the engine can be cleaned, but it must be cleaned when it cools. When the engine temperature is high, the engine is suddenly cold, which may lead to deformation and cracking of the cylinder block, and washing at high temperature will also produce a large amount of water vapor, which may have an impact on the circuit.

3. Before the cleaning starts, check which areas are labeled with signs prohibiting washing, and try to avoid these parts when cleaning.

4. If it is a car that is more than three years old, or a hybrid car, when cleaning the engine, be sure to use a shrink film to wrap the wiring harness and the fuse box inside the engine, because with the growth of the car, the plastic part of some parts begins to age, and the waterproof effect is reduced, so it must be protected before washing.

5. If it is a vehicle with a long age (more than five years), it is not recommended to clean the engine with water, because it is easy to not hit the car due to poor sealing. In addition, the engine should not be cleaned too often with water, which is easy to accelerate the aging of the line.

6. If you find that the engine has oil leakage, it is recommended to buy a professional engine cleaner, spray the oilstained place with detergent first, and then rinse it with water after the oil stain is dissolved, and then wipe or blow dry as soon as possible.

In addition, the computer board and other components of some models are also in the cabin, which is easy to enter the water and affect the use.

Therefore, Xiaobang suggested that if the owner wants to clean the engine compartment, it is better to hand it over to the professional 4S shop staff to complete.

The answers to this question shared above are all personal opinions and suggestions, and I hope that the answer to this question I have shared can help you.

I am here at the end to wish everyone a happy work, a happy life, and a healthy life every day!
