certainly not to Orient Express's standards, but she will do.

Adams All purpose cleaner, a detail brush and water.

Your engine thanks you.

Looks fabulous - might you have any 'before' pics to show your progress? How much time did you invest?

Clean clean. This is in my "To Do List". Question - any parts I should stay away from cleaning/spraying?

jyoteen

no before pics. But the pulleys, alternator, and the block casing were black with mix of oil and dirt.

since I had the airbox out, I covered up the TB with tape and plastic wrap. Also covered up all the sensor/electrical connections.

Sprayed it down with the cleaner on a cool engine, waited 20 minutes while I cleaned the airbox, MAF, etc, went over with a boars bristle brush and rinsed with cool water. Dried with microfiber towel. Waited a few hours and then started the engine for 5 minutes and done.

i plan on getting my TB Clened in a few weeks when my car goes in teh shop to get ready for summer... My car is a 04 and has 130km and is a DD... is the cleaning Nessasary?

Zook - your TB is an easy clean and takes 10 minutes with a spray fuel injector cleaner and cloth. Nessasary? On mine it is - as it has an ICV so I go all religous and clean it along with the TB every 2K or so. If I don't, I notice my idle begins to hunt around + /- 50rpm and the mid range 90kph to 120kph pick up seems better after I clean it.
