Cleaned The Car Today

[luke_clifton]

Started at 10am, finished at 4:30pm.

Washed with megs gold class shampoo, using washmit whilst detailing the hard to reach areas with the megs detailing brush. Dried using chamois. Dressed the tyres wit megs hot shine tyre spray, then clayed the entire car, including door shuts, & under bonnet. Polished up the exhaust using megs All metal polysh. Finally used megs 3 stage (paint cleaner, polish, carnuba wax). Tomorrow the interior.

Those nur spec's are abit on the sharp side, got so many cuts and grazes now.

Dunno if i managed to get some water in the electrics or something, but car misbehaved after cleaning (hunting, popping on idle, dropping revs coming to lights, hesitation, & holding back). Think it likes to be dirty :@

Sorry about the quality of the pics, i wish i could have got hold of a better camera, as the reflection is awsome for a white (pics taken prior to 3 stage though, but still brilliant shine).

hi luke, sounds to me that you may have i faulty coil pack, if it is missing and holding back now that you have got the engine wet, can tell you work late shifts, nothing eles to do other than clean your car, it was already CLEAN!

[luke_clifton]

The last coil pack you took out whilst doing the spark plugs looked like it had seen better days. Need to add that to the things to buy next then lol. Just about to order 7litres of silkolene sync 5 gear oil and silkolene engine oil. Then was going to bug you about brake pads lol. Maybe i should order coil packs instead

As for cleaning the car, you should have seen the dirt inside the exhaust , And i even cleaned the centre section of the exhaust lol. Also what else is there to do when your days off are either monday, tuesday or wednesday

try spraying WD40 on to the coil packs, then start the engine, see if that makes a differance to the idle

Ah good little tip, i'll try that next time it plays up. I've also heard that taping the coils up with insulating tape also helps as a temp fix?
