Can the Civic engine bay be washed with water?
1 Answers
It is not recommended to wash the Civic engine bay with water. Structure of the engine bay: The engine bay contains many highly sensitive electrical components, such as ignition coils, fuse boxes, battery wiring connectors, etc. Although these parts have some waterproofing measures, they cannot withstand the high-pressure water jet wash. It might be fine once or twice, but over time, there's a risk of damage or burning out. Correct cleaning method for the engine bay: First, remove surface dust using a high-pressure air canister, then spray engine bay surface cleaner, being careful not to spray onto the battery or inside the fuse box. Wait about ten minutes before wiping it dry. For wiring connectors, avoid spraying the cleaner and instead use a damp cloth to clean them.
