    Engine bay cleaning

    in The Garage

    Posted

    I never had cleaned the engine bay... I have send it to wash only twice in a year of having the Pathy...

    Do you clean it at home or go to wash center? I have seen lots of videos on youtube about how to clean the engine bay... What do you suggest? Precautions? Critical points?

    Thanks 👍

    Getting confused about oil type.

    I was looking some videos about changing the oil filter at half oil change for keeping the oil cleaner... Or change the oil at home...

    I do not know if i will do it but... Y asked just for curiosity...

    And there is another question.... Hahahahaha

    Do i need to have a special tool for removing the oil filter? Where the filter is located is like PITA to remove i think... Do you remove it with your hands... Just turn it and voilà?

    I have changed my scooter motor oil and valvuline... But never a car's oil... Thanks!

    ^^^^^ As Rebelord says...

    Here in Bogotá you can go to "your" mechanic or a refered one... Or go to the Nissan or whatever brand workshop...

    If you go to your mechanic usually he does not provide parts, but sometimes he suggests where to buy them or knows someone who knows... At the Nissan or other workshop you have no choice, you have to buy them their really expensive parts...

    Robyn, better pictures would help locate the cause but probably a leak in the fuel rail somewhere. Replacing the torched parts will probably fix the issue but not cost effective at a shop and certainly not at the stealership. Hopefully a fellow forum member with mechanical abilities will chime in and give you a hand. Pick and Pull can be a great asset in times like these... Did you smell fuel at any time before it burnt? Usually a fuel rail leak will give you a faint gas smell at times, mine was only at start up and when the engine was cold was was leaking at the hose coupler.

    Maybe it is only plastic melted...

    Lucky you there was people near to the Pathy to extinguish the fire!
