bay

My engine was covered in crap and getting right on my goat, so cracked out the fairy up liquid and t cut metal polish. Spent about 20 minuntes on it because it was raining a bit, but im pleased with the result. It's a bitch to clean with some really tight spaces to get into with the old...

Hey All, For Christmas I got some Auto Glym Engine Cleaner.... My engine bay has been the let down for a while with my motor, to be honest I am not into engine bay bling, and I don't park up and open my bonnet all that often, however, when people ask about my car and what I've done, I...

has anybody got any advice on what i can do to tidy up my engine bay i hate the way it looks as standard any help would be great and pics would be even better, thanks daz

I found what I can only describe as a hot water bottle top in my engine bay the other day. It doesn't have a screw thread though. It was resting on top of the gearbox. Does anyone know what it is? I had some diagnostic work carried out on the engine and a Forge dump valve fitted a few weeks...

Im after the sticker that reads... Seat recomends Repsol, the one directly in front on the dipstick... also any comments about my funky vacuum pipes are welcome lol! :funk:

Im a great fan of the smooth and subtle engine bays in the old golfs and would really love to do this to my LCR. But is it really practicle? I wouldnt know where to start or is it a lot of one off fabrication? Would i need to speak to a auto electricain or a body shop or both?! Any ideas of...

right guys looking what else can be stripped from the cupra without effecting the engine to much the black box next to the washer bottle looks like part of a egr system can this be binned? also i know the secondary air system is to warm the cat on startup, since i have no cat can this go...

Hi all, I understand the fan/Air Con fuse blowing is a common problem! Mine has melted the box that houses the fuses on top of the battery. I went to my local dealer who could see the part on his parts library but it didnt give him a part number so he said he cant do much without it...

Can I please have your honest opinions on the 'LEON CUPRA' lettering! Should they stay or go??? :confused: Just thought it was a little different but my mates have just laughed :(

Hi Anyone got any pics of engine bay from Ibiza F2 ? - esp airbox setup Cheers Rob

Ive seen a few other marques use the same kind of effect as the Audi rs4 on the cam covers (the kind of red matt textured effect). Id like to do a few bits of my engine bay the same and wondered if anyone knew how it was done or how to re create a similar effect? Cheers Scotty

I have made this thread into a Poll as there is two things i want to look into First im not sure what colour to go for, i think i will get polished but bearing in mind some of my engine bay (strut brace and Samco hoses when they are fitted) is in red i dont know if powdercoated in silver or...

Right I've not given the bay of my R a clean for a long time so it's time to give it a good go. Any tips on cleaning the engine bay, products wise etc. Pete

Put my powder coated rocker cover and inlet manifold on last week, and gave the engine bay a clean ready for GTI Festival last weekend. Here's some pics:

My engine bay is looking rather dirty :redface: Whats the best/easiest way to clean it. Obviously i don't want to jet wash it and i don't think i can be bothered to start taking it all apart and clean pieces individually. So any ideas?

End of the month i'll be able to post pictures up of a variety of polished stainless steel engine bay parts to tart/chav/tidy the engine bay up (which ever way you view these kind of mods') for anyone interested. This'll include all the engine bits you can think off and on larger parts such...

Weather has been bad recently but today I got chance to do some more work stripping down the engine bay :D http://www.icecavern.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2592

peeps There is one area of my engine bay that really p*sses me off when it comes to cleaning my car - the throttle body..... (long bar bit that goes horizontal across the engine at the front lol ) Mine has a kind-of pitted/rough finish to it, and I can never get it clean when oil gets on...

As some of you may know I had a temporay oil catch tank in my engine bay which ended up being in for longer then 6months. It was a beautiful coca cola bottle but unfortunately it wasnt exactly bling and needed constant emptying. But now it has all changed with a trip to Fusion Fabrication...
