Hi all,
Has anyone sprayed down the OM642 engine? If so, which bits did you cover up with plastic bags?
My engine has had various leaks and I'm pretty sure there are no leaks now, but there's a bit of a smell when the engine gets hot. I've cleaned the 'top' of the engine and it looks nice and clean, but I think there's some diesel that's been spilled because there's a smell there that I'd love to get rid of.
I'm talking about with the top plastic cover off. When I first got the car I paid for a detailer to clean the engine, but they didn't take the cover off. Since then, I've carefully cleaned bits with a brush and strong APC, but think it needs a bit more attention.
I'd love to use BH foam and then low pressure rinse off, but I'm a bit scared. There are electrical connectors all over the shop in this engine.
Cheers,
Ed
