What have people used to clean up a charged engine bay? Does it matter if I just use normal things or do I need to e careful of anything in there? Any help would be great  Maybe in the wrong section too lol  ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

Avoid the air filter and ECU, apart from that it'll be fine. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Avoid acidic cleaners on anodised or polished aluminium as it etches the surface. For instance don't use neat TFR (traffic film remover)________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

I use a 1/10 diluted mix of tfr with a hot pressure washer and to be honest go crazy, never had an issue with any of the electrics, once washed dry of all the bay with an air line, get the engine up to temp first and leave running.Job done it can then look like this  Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

That looks ace Carl - might get you to do mine if I ever get the car back on the road. Mine's pretty mint to be honest, but there's always room for improvement. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
