Swiss' Sport clean Stage 1 - Engine bay
Picked this runaround a week ago
Have not had a chance to give the scoob a clean until now. Was busy sorting out a few issues today like brakes, springs etc but at last got out the karcher, rags and engine bay cleaning gear and set to it
This is what I was working with
As far as I can work out the engine has not been touched since it left the factory over 10 years ago ! and it certainly needed some TLC
First up was a simple covering of the alternator (non turbo models so no induction or intercooler to cover) then a liberal spraying of Gunk and Megs De-greaser.This was followed by a lot of agitating with various brushes, elbow grease and then the jetwash.
Repeated, engine on for 10 minutes and then mopped up the excess water. Followed this by a liberal spray of Aeropsace 303 and let dry.
This is picture heavy so I apologise in advance but I think the before and after will demonstrate how bad it was
Airbox
Radiator
Front
Coolant
Brake
Coilpack
Washerbottle
Overall
And this is the finished article
Still have the engine bay dress up to complete, some bling, new hoses, battery clamp etc

Are you sure that's the same engine bay, and not some photo's found online?
Want to do mine, in just over a months time, Chris?
