Notes On Washing The Engine

CAUTION: Danger of damage and injury!
  • Never wash the engine when it is running.
  • Only wash the engine when it is cold.
  • Protect the oxygen sensor connectors from moisture.
  • Components sensitive to moisture (e.g. electrical components like ignition coils) must be adequately protected. Cover them, if necessary.
  • Never direct a high-pressure lance directly onto engine components.
  • Ensure a minimum clearance of 30 cm is maintained between the high-pressure lance and engine components.
  • The water temperature of the high-pressure lance must not exceed 80°C.
  • The water pressure of the high-pressure lance must not exceed 100 bar.
  • Any servicing labels (e.g. oil change) and safety stickers must not be destroyed.
