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.$ b' y- u/ e$ b8 D# P

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.$ k+ J0 o9 c( ~- D4 R; M7 T K; W, y

通常保险公司会要求你做保前检测。机械师往往拒绝肮脏的发动机检测。这如同你到医院去检查身体,往往洗个澡是必要的和礼貌的一样。) D8 v* ?' ?' ^

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):(; T( ~( W8 U7 u3 c9 ^- |5 y7 u

manifold 指的是发动机到三元催化器的部分。这部分更换的话大约200元。(大部分国产车。老旧德国,日本车贵很多,没有零件); r* Q7 D: j H1 R" f6 Q2 A
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. , N x/ n4 V/ m5 ?4 _3 J7 p ) ]$ E+ D* B" W9 N& I' `.
