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.5 C8 }* a8 E+ H2 \3 ~: W

; s8 ^4 T3 ?- i6 C3 W3 D5 II'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. & ^7 ]0 [9 [$ ]; v2 a) e9 }3 w" L7 w$ X& j

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。 1 [4 e) s" M) T3 B6 O3 |/ ~6 `* [7 n5 g/ i5 V8 p# e
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):( _( p) a5 q# d5 V: M0 q

专业清洗大约40元。7 m- F1 H$ L5 u) E( U

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)% t# C% B# k; Y5 P2 I, [2 ]9 s
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. 9 K6 i B) \5 x5 ]9 F- J% d% i% a/ F2 _1 @: _9 Z$ F
