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.) w% J! D) b8 U7 a. Q( |

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. ) V0 R7 S) \" B$ R g+ u9 P ?0 m6 R1 z% 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。 5 }, A- f0 j5 N( X) ]$ M( P3 O # p4 s. z& X: t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):( - b0 e# X/ S) q7 m; v6 B/ P. h# u$ H- H1 F3 Z7 @4 u; u
专业清洗大约40元。 . v" w8 S* z: R) Z 7 Z7 {( c4 M; G( Lmanifold 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) ! Y5 T+ v$ l& C) V- W : g0 ~1 r( v7 @9 y' b7 v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.7 }. o) u- t, F S' P2 v
