Good anti-corrosion treatment is very impor
tant, particularly in the winter. If the vehicle
is frequently driven on salt treated roads, the
entire engine compartment and plenum panel
should be thoroughly cleaned at the end of
winter and retreated to prevent salt damage. At the same time, the underside of the vehicle
should be washed as well.

time with grease removing solutions
1>, or if
l) Use only the correc t cleaning sol utio ns. Never use gas
oline or diesel fuel.
Cleaning and protection 169
you have the engine washed, the anti-corro
sion treatment is almost always removed as
well. It is therefore essential to have a long
lasting corrosion protection reapplied to all
surfaces, seams, joints and components in the
engine compartment.

motor vehicle is a potentially hazardous
area.
