Should Engine be washed in Service?

[pwuser149821650581]

If thermal shock is the problem, then is spraying water over the hot radiator fins also dangerous?

Sir !
What about excel and tire rod boats , oil and diesel mixture after service.?

[capsat]

oil and diesel mixture after service

NEVER, it is termite for every under carriage rubber item

[flyingfeather]

Ok. But any short term solution for rust in under carriage area especially in khi?

[capsat]

short term solution for rust in under carriage area especially in khi?

please buy a bucket of marine grade black enamel from bohra peer or sher shah market. Spray paint the under carriage - 2 coats will take approx 4 hours to settle during day light. do the random inspection over the ramp and repeat coating every 2+ years.

My car is catching rust in patches. After enamel coating will these rust patches resurface/vanish/reappear?

[capsat]

scrub the rust with soft wire brush before applying the enamel coating., it will prevent further deterioration.

[flyingfeather]

Actually I consulted a few denters and all of them were of the opinion that diesel must be sprayed. Although I don't believe in this myth but I am really worried about the rust patches and need a short term solution. Plz let me know if enamel coat is a viable option.

[flyingfeather]

Great. Thanks for the clarification. Will do that Inshallah

one word for such losers , 'KICK ON THEIR NUTS'

This can also be used and available at bohra pir shops . This is what you need

if you need ' Marine Grade Antirust ' please call up Pak Marine (021) 32854609 Mr. Shehryar and check for availability. They are into marine supplies to ships.

Thanks a lot for your advice, any trusted mechanic in khi who can apply this under coat?

[capsat]

you need to discuss vehicle under coating with a service station not a mechanic

[flyingfeather]

Got it. Thanks buddy

simple test, ask them why didnt the manufacturer spray it in production? Cars have been shipped on top of sea going ships for a long time, you cannot get more corrossive than that environment,

The manufacturer has provided a wax coating, its promptly washed away by "service stations" in Pakistan and the final nail in coffin is diesel, oil, grease, and other lunacies like caustic ash, kerosene, olive oil, raspberry juice, etc etc etc.

If you want a picture of 20 year old factory wax coating then look here. This is a 20 year old American built Toyota Camry with more than 270,000 miles on it (432000 kms) - the wax is starting to flake off now.

For Pakistani awaam this looks ugly and dirty - so they have it promptly scrubbed off and sprayed with diesel fuel for "chamak damakk shine" - which is washed off quite easily and then the rust party starts.

This product is available in aftermarket but is a bit pricey and smells like crayons and requires a thorough cleaning before its applied. Its also sprayed heavily in all trapped cavities to prevent water condensing and rusting out seam joints.

Talked to service station guy, he is saying that firstly he will take off all the tyres scrub the rust with 'chemical' then thoroughly wash the car. Spray body with diesel as a precautionary measure. Apply "damar" (no clue what it is) then apply anti rust black paint. (Of his choice or my pick) . Total cost 8000. Is this the correct procedure? Secondly there is fuel tank underneath should I cover it and how the anti rust coat reach on body part on top of fuel tank? What is 'damar' and what is its function.

damar is tar (same stuff roads are made with) - and how the hell is he planning his paint to stick to it? find someone else, this guy is a crackhead.

you need rust converter and then dose the area with cavity wax.

Spray body with diesel as a precautionary measure.

no need of diesel spray at all. no need of damar
