I bought a car last day. Today, I saw the car need engine cleanliness on its safety inspection report. Who can tell me the meaning of engine cleanliness? is it a big problem? do I have to do that? direct consequence if not to do that? Manifold condition of the car go bad. I need to change a new one? Who can tell me where to repair car?9 v4 ^" g5 R- ^, ]$ k& M

Thanks for you guys.
don't know what so called engine cleanliness means, most likely, I guess it's just engine fresh. it's simple and easy, just pour a bottle of fresh fluid, then run the engine for like 20 minutes. after that, change engine oil, that's all.7 R5 G: y0 T1 W0 r' Z& i

I've got some difficulties to read your questions. To my best knowledge, it seems that the cleanning of your engine is a must if it is an old and dirty car.' i3 U$ s4 C. W3 a1 z. `& U9 l9 l

你可以自己在洗车点清洗发动机,费用是10元左右。但是要注意高压水枪一定要离发动机部件一英尺以上,以防止水流冲进皮带轮和电机的轴承里面,造成永久损害。另外,可能洗完车后发动困难,是由于水汽进入火花塞或者分电器造成的,干了就好了。但如果你发动不了车子,就会尴尬的让拖车拖出washbay, 多花50元。(洗车老板可不想让你占着位置妨碍挣钱):( 6 T Z e6 t% A' u/ c4 f3 G ; u+ N, D8 h.

希望你新买的旧车好运!
it could be a engine shampoo as well, like the gentleman mentioned before, but what i'm trying to say is if the mechanic refuse to do a inspection on your vehicle only because of a dirty engine, just walk out and find another shop down the street then. they always wanna oversell their service that you don't even need. 6 o!
