I bought a car last day. Today, I saw the car need engine cleanliness on its safety inspection report. Who can tell me the meaning of engine cleanliness? is it a big problem? do I have to do that? direct consequence if not to do that? Manifold condition of the car go bad. I need to change a new one? Who can tell me where to repair car? + K; _& R# K7 z) ?4 ]0 h" H z. |$ h$ w; S9 U) z
Thanks for you guys.
don't know what so called engine cleanliness means, most likely, I guess it's just engine fresh. it's simple and easy, just pour a bottle of fresh fluid, then run the engine for like 20 minutes. after that, change engine oil, that's all.& s3 p% ]1 h o/ V3 m9 M

I've got some difficulties to read your questions. To my best knowledge, it seems that the cleanning of your engine is a must if it is an old and dirty car. : T1 D1 A+ g( p5 G& M : e( }6 \: }. l: N' u / ^' G5 `; q8 R+ [通常保险公司会要求你做保前检测。机械师往往拒绝肮脏的发动机检测。这如同你到医院去检查身体,往往洗个澡是必要的和礼貌的一样。3 ^ U( K) [8 e& L* }6 r

你可以自己在洗车点清洗发动机,费用是10元左右。但是要注意高压水枪一定要离发动机部件一英尺以上,以防止水流冲进皮带轮和电机的轴承里面,造成永久损害。另外,可能洗完车后发动困难,是由于水汽进入火花塞或者分电器造成的,干了就好了。但如果你发动不了车子,就会尴尬的让拖车拖出washbay, 多花50元。(洗车老板可不想让你占着位置妨碍挣钱):( 4 k. r7 g0 \9 j* D4 ?: J( B2 `% a0 Q) b$ s+ m7 C9 B9 r, ^

manifold 指的是发动机到三元催化器的部分。这部分更换的话大约200元。(大部分国产车。老旧德国,日本车贵很多,没有零件)7 z6 T4 }7 b R) [, N7 a
it could be a engine shampoo as well, like the gentleman mentioned before, but what i'm trying to say is if the mechanic refuse to do a inspection on your vehicle only because of a dirty engine, just walk out and find another shop down the street then. they always wanna oversell their service that you don't even need.% d" g7 q7 Y" U7 w9 g3 r
