Cleaning the engine and engine compartment Hyundai Creta

Note:

With regular use of the car, the engine compartment is also intensively polluted. A heavily contaminated engine can bring more trouble than a dirty body or interior. Therefore, it is recommended to periodically clean the engine and engine compartment.

What cleaning products are suitable?

For this procedure, special engine cleaners are best suited.

Such preparations consist of highly effective detergents. They quickly penetrate the layer of burnt oil dirt and dissolve it in the most inaccessible places without additional mechanical action.

Warning:
There are many electronic components in the engine compartment. Therefore, do not clean the engine compartment with high-pressure cleaners (as is done at most car washes).
