Does sand entering the engine compartment have any impact?

[DiDakota]

Sand entering the engine compartment does have an impact, and it is recommended to address it as soon as possible. Methods for cleaning sand from the engine compartment: Remove the engine cover and clean the oil sludge and dirt on the engine cover. Clean the sludge on the external parts of the engine, pipes, and other areas, preferably using professional cleaning agents. Find a suitable small brush to scrub away the sludge. You can use a piece of chamois or a highly absorbent cloth to carefully wipe the internal components of the engine compartment. After cleaning, let the engine idle for a while to allow the moisture to evaporate. Methods for inspecting the engine compartment: After opening the engine hood, carefully check whether the wiring in the engine compartment is neat and orderly, whether there are any signs of disassembly on the components, and whether there are any oil stains on the terminal posts. Check whether the upper edge of the engine hood is smooth. There are some single-plate holes on the engine cover, so be sure to check for any deformation. If there is deformation, it definitely indicates that there has been reshaping and painting.
