Covering Coilpacks In Engine Bay

[kingtube69]

Hi All,

I want to detail my engine bay and I was reading horror stories about coilpacks getting busted by water and stuff. I know to cover alternators with bags or foil and small things with foil but I have NO idea how to protect the coilpacks.

If anyone can shed some light on the best method that would be appreciated

No one?

Never been an issue for me (literally just did a R33 engine bay two days ago). Just make sure you use a pressure washer and not a hose as the pressure washer will use less water and give you more control over the water flow so you can avoid certain areas.

Engine bays are designed to be fairly waterproof you just have to be careful on some older cars where stuff begins to get weak and brittle.

Thank you for your reply PM - I'll give it a go (looks like I'm buying a pressure washer)

Cheers!!!!

Not a problem man. Even if you get yourself a small Gerni or Karcher for $120 it will do you for most jobs.

Hi All, Just an update - I detailed my engine bay the other day with a pressure washer, tooth brush, paint brush for big spots and degreaser. Came up immaculate. Thanks again for the help PM R33
