Steam Clean
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:19 am
Hi there,
After many months and significantly more money I have (I think) located and solved the many oil leaks from the enging in my Plus 2 130/5. Thing is, the engine, geabox and anything down stream of them is so spattered with old oil its hard to tell if I've really solved the problems (the car also burns some oil so checking the level isn't a guaranteed indicator).
I've been thinking of having the engine, gearbox and underside of the car steam cleaned but have heard cautionary tales of squeaking pulleys and drowned electrical components resulting from such treatement.
Does anyone out there have any experience of steam cleaning and elan and twink? Can anyone recommend a reliable outfit in the West Midlands area?
All advice welcome.
Simon
