I've pressure washed the V6 a few times, and will wash it off again this year at some point.

As for the TD Omega - Well, that stood up to been pressure washed for about 10 mins solid - it was COMPLETLEY soaked - Only reason I stopped washing it was because I got sick of the water spraying back in my face!  ;D

That said - If you get water in the wrong place, it may cause problems. IMO the risk is low.

I'd NEVER jet wash my engine  :o

Next door neighbour did it on his Mondy ST220 & buggered it up & the garage still can't get his EML to go out!!  >:(

I stick to a rag with soapy water then spray EVERYTHING with WD40 then wipe it down with a clean cloth - hey presto a nice looking engine bay  :) :) :)
