X5 engine clean
X5 engine clean
hi heres some pics of me cleaning my X5 engine. I used Autoglym engine cleaner and the Autoglym vinyl and rubber to seal it.
Re: X5 engine clean
ill dig out a product that would be better then what you have used (I use it on my engine) as that stuff is silcone based and your just attract more dust :-[
Re: X5 engine clean
looks much better! I can get away with cleaning the interior and the exterior, but can't see SWHMBO allowing me to spend time cleaning the engine!

It's always good to clean under there. Just a pity with the weather we seem to suffer with it'll be dirty again before you know it.

I do believe you are right Chomper's. I can make out the E53 style headlight washers in one of the pictures.

It is. Its a pre-facelift too. Can tell from the yellow in the indicator and the separate trim piece below the headlight.

Re: X5 engine clean
Yeah, we just have to look at this....All covered in acres of plastic!
Yeah I know it's an E71, but it looks the same - sort of.
