hey guys just was gunna wash and degrase my engine bay but my mate said vl's arnt very good after u was engine bay he said they will just not go after u wash it for sum reason is this true and are there ways to stop this happening
my bf left his calais running when he pressure washed it so water doesnt fill up anywhere if its still running, nothing happend 2 his car..looked nice after!
its a VL. If you think it will cause problems its a safe bet not to do it lol.
On the side note I have pressure washed my bay once or twice. Other than forgetting to bag the dizzy and having to wipe it out(its amazing the problems that ****er causes and the AMOUNT of power surges) IMPRESSIVE! its all good really.
i find that cars are different, i've washed my dads vp 304 commo, like completely covered the engine in water and u turn it on, and its completely normal, and then my mate will wash his vs statesman also with a 304, and u get any little amount of water on it, and its completely stuffed. I do the same with my mates vq wich also has a 304 and its normal. just like the other ppl said, dont get it near the dizzy cover and dont get ny water into the induction, dosnt take a rocket scientist to realise that engines cant compress water

haha just buy some CRC and a rag and keep it in the car for the just incases. Nothing funnier than seeing a VL surge its tits off cos the dizzy is wet and the young guy standing over the engine bay steam coming off scratching his head "I dont know what happened".(Yes I did it once I looked like a tool) RACV laffed and went, nice day for cleaning cars huh, 4th one today lol
nah, just go easy, bag those parts as mentioned. try not to get any of the electrical stuff wet and dont get any water into ur air filter if you have one or the intake of ur turbo if u got one. dont apply too much pressure of water, just gently go over and if u got like grease or dirt, use a rag, well that what i do when i wash cars.

lol, very true man
do it with the car running i dont bag anything but i dont aim the washer at the dizzy or plugs either. the reason u leave the car running is because if it turns off you no why!
