If repentance could kill, I'd be mortinha silva.
Christmas Eve I was in Montes Claros, resting with his family. I decide to put the car in the lava jet because it was well Sujinho. As in almost two years had never washed the car engine and knowing that he was filthy, I decided to have them wash it as well, hence, the festivities would end the year with the car we dressed up. BLOODY TIME. With water jets, the car is out "failing" of the jet wash. It was weak, smelled gunpowder and made a noise engine Brasilia. A few days later, I hit the road and went to Belo Horizonte. I put in my car and went to Andre's Rio de Janeiro.
After 10 days and return to start the car, it is maintained, ie the same symptoms. It took the mechanic in my neighborhood and away he says, "is the ignition coil, and is not very cheap." Plop. Hate that! Nearly 500 real Peogeut at the dealership. 
But how good I am mine, I did some research and bought the original price of R $ 278.00 (Toulouse Imports in Baron Homem de Melo, near nro 1000). + I paid $ 20.00 for my mechanic to install and everything was for 298 reais (more anger). The initial budget I did a workshop (Show Car) had been all for R $ 714 .. ha ha.
NEVER IN MY LIFE MORE COMMAND MOTOR CAR WASH. In seven years you have a car, this is the second. The other five years I was with him (Fiat Uno), a single time that I sent back washing the engine with such a "green onion" pifada ... it was good to learn. Never again! The boy in the store I bought the piece said that I had strong, because people who had just lost the central washing ... costs more than 1200 dollars. Die.
For now, that's it. I'm back in Montes Claros. Step a few days here.

To wash an engine, I think only uyma dire need.
AI had you clean the engine of my car because the mechanic could not find the leak vivid dirt, and was recommended to take a stand in Vicar Street Albernaz, phone 50614994, and followed the wash, and saw the plastic washer to isolate all parts that seemed vulneráveis.Deu right and I was very pleased.
Even more hojke with all cars with modules, electronic parts ....
leonardo person is right, and complicated +
2Actually, I disagree with title text: You can wash your car engine, since this is not done often and you find someone competent enough for this. The problem lies not in the wash itself, but made without the washing test.
Electronic components present in the motor can not be wet. Therefore, parties who have no such components can indeed receive water.
The problem is that gas stations and car washes wash engines without the slightest criterion because these professionals have the expertise to do so. Besides the fact that a lot of time requires careful washing and water stations prefer to play anyway, which is faster and more consistent with a turnover business that needs to be profitable.
Just see that wash the engine with water jet, which is the height of absurdity. Of course an engine wash under these conditions will damage delicate electronic components, even on an irreparable, leading to the need for part exchange.
As for his injury, any service provider has liability. If the service you hired gave you an injury, the post has a duty to indemnify you. You simply get a report of a mechanic, showing that the number received ruined because water (and, of course, you need to have the invoice of the cleaning service). In consumer relations, the burden of proof can be reversed by the court, which will cause the service provider does not have to prove that damaged his car.

6Hello everybody, it's simple to let the engine of your car pretty clean! is spray it with kerosene and diesel and then just hit an air jet and it was! everything is new, I hope I have helped
7I have a car wash and jet wash brasilia engine of any car ha trez years never had any predicament is the right thing to do so carefully uzar right product and do not hit the jet directly in shares Electrics hug.
8Want to wash your vehicle, safety, honesty, caprice,
9take it to the Lava Jet Sebastian in Santa Luzia, District Vila Olga
Avenue of the next imdustrias MEGA SPACE.
YOU WILL HAVE A SINGLE SERVICE EXCELLENCE IN your veiculovai realmnte be clean and not like other makeup I already took mine, if you have an awesome professional caring for your vehicle.
Staff,
Sometimes (for every 6 months or more) wash the engine with kerosene or diesel oil and never had problems.
But of course, right after I wash with mild detergent to as kerosene / diesel not be compromising the life of plastic and rubber parts.
Use kerosene or diesel only if the engine is leaking oil, which leaves the character and block dirty and if it is done only with soap much longer and not give the same cleaning effect on the details to be taken with solvents.
That if you have the patience to rub corragem and the motor in great detail with a brush and a toothbrush with diesel to actually remove all that "slime" made of motor oil and dirt! hehe.
Now, just dirt to clay / earth, the best soap and water is the same.
In car washes (or ourselves), what happens is the following:
Besides not having, in most cases, the minimum of care with your car, they jateiam mercilessly, just to finish faster.
Therein lies the question: The water enters the various plugs, terminals and sensors in the engine and stay there, botanto short-circuit these components (Remember that the water we have is NOT insulation. Only DISTILLED water is!). When we launch the key, you know what happens, right? Have you ever felt on the skin and in your pocket.
The solution is: In my case, I washed with the rinsing water jet weaker, preventing the water entres in places delicate and difficult to dry. I do not need to blast a lot of pressure because the kerosene / diesel has dissolved the dirt hard and as I said, even with water hose (no pressure machines) that dirt off easily.
And to further ensure, always wash the engine on hot days and I will not use the car in at least three days. That's because he let in the sun with the hood open, making it difficult for any moisture out of electronic parts, evaporate.
So I never had problems with burning electronics and electronic components
Important: Only AFTER I turn the key of these three days!. So before (BEFORE) to start the wash, as I leave the car at the right place to not have to activate it.
Once dry, apply where a can of silicone spray to protect against moisture and corrosion.
Of course, it will "stick" dust but much easier to realize the advantage that also protects against moisture / corrosion, dirt begin to stick, will BETWEEN silicone layer and the workpiece, causing the next wash the dirt out more easily.
And lastly, and most important: After cleaning the engine, ELIMINATE the points of leakage of oil and grease!. If you do not have that knowledge, take a workshop. Thus, the only dirt that may bother you is the clay rather than the oil, grease and dirt mixed
In short: Wash the engine does not hurt, just know washing!
Hope this helps!
10Hug!

Good morning guys! I also had problem with washing the engine a Palio that I had in 1998. Burned onions, actuator idle etc. ..... I do not advise washing the engine prejudice can be great! A good tip is to wash whenever the powerful pass a damp cloth on the engine to dust then comes and goes with silicone gel Everywhere plastic engine is really nice little black and not have a handle poeira.Hoje siena el 2010 and amaze you a rodent (RAT) decided to live in my engine even turn it and stir the feces of the animal saw the engine choked and mouse pellet ja was came into the land of the foot with this was an unbearable stench in the engine, I fell in DESENGRIPANTE bullshit playing around the MOTOR to eliminate the smell, the time was great, fragrant little black dress more after one month more or less my engine was a terrible cloud of dust around filthy, now comes the question or command in command wash MOTOR??? say in autoridaza wash with hot water! Do they have a way of washing the MOTOR?? Abc ..... the passion for cars.
13Look people I wash the engine of my 97 Corsa injected every three months and already have 12 years doing that, but do not play water pressure, spraying only a fan, the way from the street, water tank, looking up watering the garden.
14When you have some melecada oil, diesel fuel spray at all, leave about 30 minutes and then spray water and leave the lid open to dry.
Now cars that have the control unit (ECU, injection machine, etc.) exposed in the engine bay, wrap each with two plastic bags, as the case of Uno here.
Send a wash in washer jets is the same zebra they put water nor are there.
The electrical connectors are waterproof, but not equal to the pressure washer jets.
After all, a pretty clean engine and goes well, is not it? Even the mechanic works happy ...
I wonder if you have a product to remove dirt from the parts that are close to the engine (dirt water flooding). or can I wash the car engine.
15I like to open the hood and see my shining engine, but this can cause distrust in the time to sell your car, because they will find that the engine has some kind of leak. Some say that the dirt protects.
16Hello crevilaro that Inhaca, huh! Argh!
17As they washed the engine of your Corsa? They put under water pressure on the motor? If it was, I believe it has to be no pressure, just spraying.
hj boy ... this happened, I am of Foz do Iguaçu - PR, and I have a beautiful Corsican, quiz and also even with the heavy conscience wash the engine, ... potatoes to weekend without a car, I spend a basket, and to top up I get in the car mechanic burst into flames as it burned the alternator that made the very hot exhaust and caught fire escape at the joints ... NEVER wash MOTOR .......
18I have a corsa 97 (injection) and one day I decided to wash the engine like our friend there and it happened td msm ... I'm too bad the car for about one month, q until one day a friend gave me a clue to remove the battery cables of an overnight and unplugging all electronic parts (pluguinhos the nozzle etc.) of the engine. And there the other day eh q qndo plugged everything back the little engine had healed? lol nw know if it was or if the scheme had tremendous luck, but nw spent a real engine to return to normal ...
19Since we have a car wash when I sent the engine, never had a problem, since the cars with carburetors common to the electronics of today, the secret is to have a trusted professional who will have all the care of your car.
20Well, as I like to see the engine of my Corsa Wind always clean, I wash myself from time to time, but only with water without pressure, ie type spray.
21What happens, as we got through that, and wash the engine with water under pressure estrema.
I took a Fiesta to wash the engine as it was only a melequeira oil and bread, to give a general mechanic.
Well, they put water under pressure and estrema when starting the engine, hummmm not picked up by prayer or angry. So popped. After about 40 minutes, they called the station owner, and he found a harness behind the engine full of water, which clean and dry after the engine ran just fine.
In the case of vehicles that have that little box called the Central Electronic (ECU) there in the engine bay, the ignition coil and secure with a plastic bag supremercado as phaco with the One Fire.
And take no water pressure and some brushes to make the engine gleaming like new.
Well that and a warning in time to take the car to provide such clean up the engine! The business and wash them and have less hand labor and many who perform this work in hand know this problem.
If you have questions you can wash the engine of the Peugeot, wash and will prove what I said earlier.

22My people, NEVER WASH THE MOTOR PEUGEOT, will not that such "lavajato" is good, be sure to wash the engine of your car, own experience.
Atoa was at home and nothing to do I took the car in lavajato, washed the engine and will now have to pay 267.00 for a new COP of ignition, talked to the mechanic who worked at Peugeot, he said the engine peugeot not WASHED may be by no means equals is just another wet paper.
WASH THE ENGINE FOR $ 50.00 AND SPEND MORE $ 300.00 SERVICE, THAT IS IF YOU HAVE LUCK.
