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? & ^( c5 J2 o, k: s1 h* Y : V% G% E1 @- T" dThanks 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." K+ ~" k& |* z+ W8 S- ~+ E0 M

8 @- T; B0 M+ nI'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.3 n; d: u) [$ |# {: A

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):(% |' D' T1 _+ G

专业清洗大约40元。 - n6 M2 O- ]0 u0 P1 S2 _. F% Q% n7 q J
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)9 O% a* [. P' D! K; K# t
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.- Z: u1 g' E+ r( Q& |. y
