Jet wash??? thats a bad idea, even if you're really lucky and manage to do it without soaking your electrics (unlikely) all that grease & grime actually protects your engine & ancillaries from the nastly salty water that deperately wants to attack your car 


I prefer black ones myself

My mate (ryoungmk1gti) left his oil fller cap off and after a rag it resulted in oil spilling everywhere,and he jet washed his, with the enigne running, said it was alright, prob just need to make sure you get the right bits!

I'm with MK1MADJ on this, I'd never jet wash my engine, I was always warned off about steam cleaning them too for the very reasons mentioned. Each to their own and unless your gonna pop your bonnet at a show and show off the bling and cleanliness then I can't really see the point.

well no, i havnt done it, and prob wont ever but is because my first valver had a nice clean engine but my current one is a bit grubby!
thats if it ever sees the light of day again, it has been touched in a week!

Just soak a rag in some petrol and wipe over the big bits thats all i do
