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? , ]9 L/ |$ p6 |1 G( [( V3 K: U% U( t; ^4 _; t( C8 R& k+ \
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. & x' n+ t+ P5 ^( X% `3 h + X r3 p& ~% ]) b[ Last edited by 社员都是向阳花 on 2005-6-4 at 08:11 PM]

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. 1 M* E3 j3 c; N4 c1 v7 ? . r8 l! e' |4 A) R( Y+ g! f8 r0 H/ ?7 i2 k% `
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。: r" L6 d0 u6 H7 Z( _3 k! X" ]2 H
% j% P( L; X! q1 e% N, F0 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):(7 N, J9 a# u' v

专业清洗大约40元。 2 |$ i a5 G/ k* k$ k ' R7 \8 u" R7 Q4 b0 q; Zmanifold 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) % C+ o9 S; q" ^8 J! K0 ]. q 8 g" y. o. ?$ v* B7 K# ?7 h/ E希望你新买的旧车好运!
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.
