Dati, may daga sa amin at doon pa dinadala sa loob ng engine bay yong nakukuha nyang dog food. Ewan ko ba bakit gusto ng daga doon ay daily driver naman namin yong trooper.

So after mapalinis ang engine bay, pinahuli ko na yong daga at ginawa na syang mabait, damay pati aso...

I mean wala nang food sa gabi ang aso :D

sa ford QA, pwede palinis yong engine bay, P500.00 lang

Zitro...

Maybe they are just being safe is it? I even tried DIY ang paglinis ng makita basta ingatan mo lang yung computer na nansa top. I didnt even cover the alternator.

Pag bebenta mo balitaan mo ako hehehe

The alternator will not die because of water. Kahit nakalubog sa ilog gagana ang alternator. Just don't point a high pressure washer at it kasi yung pressure ang sisira diyan (no the water per se).

siguro the isuzu casa's are just being cautious na matutukan ng pressure wash yung computer box

yun din sedan benz ng utol ko hindi rin daw pwedeng i-engine wash dahil sa computer box.

nakakapagtaka lang bakit nilagay ng mga car manufacturers na ito yung computer box sa engine bay pero ayaw nilang pa engine wash. :roll:

Diba water tight naman itong computer box and its connectors? especially for the Trooper.

otomatic,

Buti pa yung Sentra ni utol nasa loob ng cabin ang ECU. hehehe. Yung sa 230E ng father ko nasa engine compartment din ang electronics pero we still do the engine wash on it (may pressure washer dito sa bahay). Wala namang ill effects.

The computer boxes are not really water tight. But they are water resistant and have drain holes underneath.

what i know, mukhang trooper lang ang maselan na diesel engine..unlike other basta nalang salang sa engine wash..

in most cases, it's not the computer box that's maselan, the most sensitive electronics in the e bay are usually the MAF sensor, Knock sensor and other auxillary sensors what aren't encased.. if those conked out, there's a big chance that it'll fry the computer box... it's not the ECM itself that you should worry about directly... the little harnesses that you see near the intake and the exhaust are the ones to worry about.
