I have been a right idiot and have driven a couple of miles without putting the oil cap back on my corrado after a top up. The whole engine bay has a nice fresh coating of oil so should I take it for a steam clean or shall I not bother?
we have had our mk2 engine steam cleaned a few times just be carefull when doing it as we have had the odd occassion where its been a little tricky to start again. but we have never had any other problems from doing it.
shouldnt hurt it , just have some dry rags to dry out the dizzy etc and wd40 the connectors , and regrease any important bits
yup, plastic bag over the dizzy. i wouldnt fancy spraying directly on the spark plug area though but the heat will keep water away
Did this 6 times before, it is true that the car can have a probleme with starting again. Now just like "Jon P" is saying keep the engine running and you will be fine. I use a plant spray to put on some degreaser (watch out so you dont spray important things that need to have grease on them, like bearings etc.) and then steam the engine clean. For a nice finish spray some WD40 on the hoses then they will look like new. When i was finished my engine looked like this:
but if its running at the start and at the end, you've won nothing worse than it not starting afterwards Plus you shouldn't really be concentrating the jet towards those sensitive areas
