Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R50, R52, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Engine
Operation: Engine cleaning-washing instructions

Cleaning the engine is not a real technical requirement but rather serves to complete the care of the car and perhaps not get your hands too dirty to go and check the levels, for example. This operation must be carried out with the engine cold to avoid excessive thermal shock. Then wet the engine with low pressure water (we do not recommend the use of the pressure washer as the excessive pressure could cause water to penetrate into unwanted points, such as the control unit or the fuse box); then spray with a suitable cleaner, leave to act for a few minutes and rinse; if necessary, repeat the operation.
