Washing the car is an inevitable thing for every car owner. It is very simple to clean the surface of the car. Just cleaning the surface of the car body is not enough. But how to clean the cover after opening the engine compartment? Which parts of the car can be washed with water and which parts can not be washed with water?
Nowadays, waterproof measures have been taken for the interfaces in the engine compartment of automobiles, so we don’t need to worry too much about the engine water.
Therefore, when washing the car frequently, some places need to directly spray the engine with a high-pressure water gun. In fact, there is no need to worry that they will damage the car, because they will not wash the parts in the engine compartment.
However, there are several points that need special attention.
1. When the car engine is still hot, you can’t wash it with water directly
When the car has just stopped, the engine temperature is still very high. If the engine is cleaned immediately and the engine is suddenly cold, the internal parts of the engine may be deformed. In addition, in this case, the water will immediately become water vapor, which will have a bad effect on the entire circuit system. In order to avoid injury, the high-pressure water gun should not be cylindrical and should be adjusted to a spherical shape. After cleaning, try to dry it with a high-pressure air gun, especially the plug of the engine harness, so that water will not enter the plug of the engine harness and the vehicle will not be damaged. After car stop, the ignition will make the engine idle for a period of time without any problems. If you are really worried, you can wrap the harness plug and the fuse box with plastic wrap.
2. Do not flush the car computer with water
Some old cars are not well protected, so the high-pressure water gun can’t rush here.
However, there are also waterproof fuse boxes, but their waterproof ability can only be rain proof. The high-pressure water gun is too powerful, so all vehicle owners must pay attention.
3. Special attention shall be paid to non original headlights
If you have replaced the lamp, the sealing performance of the lamp must be much worse than that of the original part. Therefore, when washing with a high-pressure gun, do not wash it to the headlamp to avoid water entering the lamp.
Many people have asked this question, but I can’t directly say whether it can be washed or not. For some cautious people, this kind of washing will definitely hurt the car. However, I still think that the precision of the current vehicle is not as high as before, and there is no need to pay too much attention to this. Of course, if you use a water gun to clean the car, you can use foam to scrub it.
The above content is the experience sharing of some car owners and fans. I hope it can help you.
