Finally washed my engine. The car is 20 months old now (18600 miles) and it was getting a little grimy in there. Some pics:








My next mod is the AEM CAI.

 

how did you protect various parts so water didn't get in the intake or vital engine parts? did u take it to a car wash?

 

Ok. Explain in details the entire procedure that you follow to clean your engine bay. A lot of people are curious on this topic. Thanks.

Oh yea, check out my sig for the aem.

 

Looks great.

 

so how did ur headlight squirters end up working? i think u should color match them... that would look smooth.

 

I second that, it'll look cleaner that way. Or get real trick and mount them on a thing that slides up when in use and then hides under a cover like the Audi, etc ones.

Just paint them to match.

 

To wash the engine I covered the air intake, alternator and other misc. electrical connections. I used a hose (very low pressure) and a sponge. I did not use any degreasers - just lots of elbow grease.
The headlight washers are OEM Honda Accord for a 2002 German spec coupe... that car is virtually identical to the US 6gen coupe. Pic below:

 

OEM locations I meant to say... the actual parts are not OEM.

 

i guess you go offroading alot or something?
whats the purpose of headlight washers? wipers i can understand but washers?

 

These get the snow guck off in the winter... had a similar setup on my Passat. The squirters have a separate pump and work with a separate switch.
