if i sprayed the engine bay with the hot pressure washer would it damage anything in there, being carefull around the wirey important looking things, just a quick question really

Don't do it is my recommendation.

Mucky bits are supposed to be mucky, shiny bits are supposed to shine!

Who looks under your bonnet anyway?

( just my opinion, don't tell me off!)

Pressure wash your engine the day before you sell it

It takes 1 minute and is perfectly safe. The fabia has no loose wires to worry about. I covered up the battery, air intake, and the ground point using foil. It sounds stupid but its a recommendation from www.polishedbliss.co.uk and worked a treat.

When using the pressure washer, always angle it very steeply.

Hope thats of use to you.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

When ever i pressure wash my engine i do it with the engine running, then you don't have to worry about it not starting afterwords!

I wouldnt advise that on the Fabia, especially where the intake is. Unless you really want to pay for a new engine.

Warmed up and off would be my choice, steer clear of the engine ECU and ABS unit. Give it a good run after and blow off and excess moisture with a compressed air line.

:eek: DONT USE FOIL, you could short the battery out and set the blo0dy thing on fire.

I see your point but I followed the advice given on www.polishedbliss.co.uk very carefully and I found the technique worked very well. Engine bay looks like new.

autoglym guide is almost exact the same as polish bliss except they say to use cling film instead of foil...
