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? 4 x ~/ t' n) |1 i7 B, [( N P1 r% M* V# ~
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.: U* ]9 N; Z, @3 d) _6 w

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. 6 K: p: i1 r" z% g- D1 z% A# S$ } ' c- a3 q H* L% s% s 1 l: s0 _4 i: u% f- F4 k0 M+ t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。 ' O( C5 @9 \0 V* c1 c2 K$ G: o' u6 I4 B- V/ D3 |( ` M4 ~
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# j3 D* P# e 2 X3 \" f- v+ G$ C8 K$ ]9 b% x( J8 |专业清洗大约40元。 4 X; F& \: y5 I7 S $ I8 l4 e, ~; a+ B# ^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# N' ?$ \# i6 |$ G

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. x' m.
