Good Idea or Bad Idea?  Or are there just too many electronic components under the bonnet to make the job a No No.

[Tab]

I personally wouldn't, vauxhall sensors are tempremental enough when they are dry  

[tunnie]

no.

[Tony H]

Too many electrickery bits and bobs under the the bonnet to risk steam cleaning  

[Entwood]

No Way  

Far to much sensitive stuff in there ..  spray a bit of carb cleaner around then wipe with paper towel ..  

[TheBoy]

You shot of like a bullet and claimed posts in no time, i said how the hell you manage that, that quick do you not get out much? and have now just seen that i have just past you.

no dont steam it , not a good idea. just use cloth and hand,

[prestigesec]

Heard to many horror stories of steam cleaning engine bays aswell not a good idea.

[Debs.]

Knowing what a small drip from a leaky HBV can do to a DIS pack; the concept completely soaking your entire engine seems just way-too risky!

A thorough clean using a cloth whetted with carb cleaner/WD-40 etc., but only a hand job.....Ooh-err    `you know what I mean!

Ahhhhhh, it's my memory retention that lets me dowm, it's about the same as a goldfish most of the time.

I have actually been quite busy the last few days, but thing's have settled down abit now.

As you mentioned "I wasnt getting out much" unfortuneately that has been to illness, this last few days I have actually manged to get out a little, so allthough I was the "hare" regard posts last week, I at least feel like the "hare" this week but in the way of galavanting arround the country roads.

Will be interesting to see what average posts I can maintain over the year.  I log on to the forum every night and it amazes me how many topics/threads there are which in turn leads me to asking/replying to the forum.
