Oakley 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Hi All Just a quick question about cleaning my VR's engine. What is the best way to do it and can it cause any problems? A friend of mine said to steam the engine while it is running! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oakley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 28, 2004 Again this has come up quite a bit in the past - search for 'clean AND engine' on the search section and I am sure something will come up - there was a fairly lengthy thread on this very subject no more than a month or two ago.

dr_mat 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Steam cleaning is a mixed blessing. Sure it'll make the under bonnet look nice, but it can cause no end of problems with electrical gremlins later on... Personally I'd rather see a grubby honest engine than a tarted up one that might be hiding leaky gaskets or worse... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted November 1, 2004 Auto-glym engine cleaner, a LARGE sponge, some hot water in a bucket and plenty of elbow grease.... 8) That's how mine stays clean anyway... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oakley Best way is to strip everything off the engine, degrease, polish and rebuild :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
