I just picked up a 2002 Golf TDI 5-speed with ALH. The PO took off the plastic shield to show off the engine and get a look at everything. Everything looks good, but dirty! Just the normal engine grime and build up on the front of the engine especially near the front and near the injectors and glow plug area.
Wondering what the deal with pressure washing a diesel engine is? Can you do it as long as you are not blasting away on electronics? Any components to stay away from? Is there a good protocol to follow (leaving the engine running? Warmed engine?). Any good products to spray down first and soak to act as a solvent and loosen some of the grime up? Any products to spray down after to treat, protect, and keep cleaner longer?
Thanks for the info
