Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What products are recommended for cleaning your engine? Is it safe to have it steam cleaned? Bill

POST 2Original post

Have a look at CarCareOnline's How To article <a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/viewarticle.aspx?art=4" target="_blank">Engine Cleaning</a>

POST 3Original post

I was told by the dealer that there is a coating on the engine and not to clean it on my 996. I want to clean and have cleaned other engines successfully before but the dealer has me hobbled.

POST 4Original post

So what is the consensus on this one then?

POST 5Original post

HMMM. I've cleaned mine with just a pressure washer with no ill effects that I'm aware of. I didn't use any detergent or degreaser, just high pressure water

POST 6Original post

Yup simple green and a power washer works for me.
