I bought a car last day. Today, I saw the car need engine cleanliness on its safety inspection report. Who can tell me the meaning of engine cleanliness? is it a big problem? do I have to do that? direct consequence if not to do that? Manifold condition of the car go bad. I need to change a new one? Who can tell me where to repair car? 1 j* P9 O: f3 D* D- B o0 w, h: M% J- P* ~8 g! AThanks 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.8 v; j7 W8 J5 n+ D- n" g

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. - H8 ^* A# g) a w$ `& _ % i/ O% ^" }( n7 \! N$ v; @4 ~. M0 b( S: M/ W
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。& h# l! L# J8 |

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):(6 x1 {3 a- Q* L' T

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) ! @* u) b. l# E F% ]: H- ]( Q6 e1 {7 i0 V' w1 o

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.

刚才有点开玩笑的意思,别介意。 - p2 a* M, `! @$ E E& b/ G , d3 g0 |0 h) g: g5 F# r8 K' G+ @我们这儿在做车子检测之前,要清洗发动机。我非常了解你的意思,我以前也是这么认为的。可是专业的机械师通常有专业设备来观察渗漏状况(例如偏振灯,对付漏油,漏液非常有效。和紫外灯检查体液一样有效); j+ e, R: t' y J) v
