A mate of mine has asked if the bay can be steam cleaned. I have never done mine as when I bought it a local company told me it was a very bad idea.
Anyone on here ever had it done?

Do it regularly. Never had a problem yet, but use a bit of common sense as to where you point the nozzle.

What Brian said...the most sensitive part is the ECU and that is safely tucked away inside the cabin...good design!
