Steam clean Accord Diesel engine bay - Statistical outlier
I need to get the engine bay of my Accord diesel steam cleaned.

I know that this could mess up various electricals within the bay, so what do I need to look out for and what do I need to ask for in terms of process and warranties before I have someone do this? Any advice would be gratefully received!

What about Gunk and a low(ish) pressure water hose - if permitted by your water company! Steam cleaning is not generally recommended, on this forum at least. I suggest you need the bay cleaned, but not steamed.

It's okay, since my rant Honda have responded and removed the need for me to do this. I hope. Cheers for the thoughts tho, I share your worries about steam, hence my question.
