When Washing The Car, Can You Wash The Engine With Water?

It is easy to clean the exterior of a car, but how do you clean the heart of the car, the engine? Which places can be washed with water, or even washed with water? Which places cannot use water, it is estimated that many male car owners do not understand.

The electrical component interfaces of the engine cabin are all treated by waterproofing, and are not afraid of water. Therefore, you have seen many car washes directly flushing with water guns. Generally, repair shops and 4S shops do this. Such flushing will not cause damage to the car. But there are a few places to pay attention to.

1. Do not wash the car with water when the engine is still hot

If the temperature of the engine is still high and you flush it with water, once it encounters cold water, it will suddenly cool down, which will easily cause the engine to crack. In addition, the water at this moment will immediately become water vapor, which may affect the circuit.

2. Do not force the water gun to impact the fuse box and the car computer

Some cars will have a prompt on the fuse box in the engine compartment that they cannot be flushed with a high-pressure water gun. Although the fuse box is also waterproof, there is no problem with the rain. It can't hold the high-pressure water gun at all. It is easy to cause accidents when washing the car. Pay attention to this when washing the car.

Having said that, even if most of the cars have done a good job of waterproofing the engine compartment, if there is any seal that is not done well, it will be finished. Therefore, do not use a high-pressure water gun to directly wash the engine compartment. Consider wiping with a damp cloth!
