Clean it . Spray electrical areas with WD40 and leave to dry .Nothing like mud etc left there to initiate corrosion and acting as a grinding paste to all moving parts.

Do it with a warmed up engine so it dries out rapidly.

and go for a drive straight after. (good practice after cleaning any vehicle)
i have always steam cleaned or pressure washed engines either off or running tdi, tgv, td5 - tdci hasn't been used properly yet so is yet to be done. Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

Thank you everyone for the advice. I was a bit worried about those electrical connecting plugs around the engine. I will buy some WD40 and spry it on the electrical connecting plugs etc. And then spray the engine with carefully with water.

If you dont have WD40 in SAFFA , use Q20 ,spray all connectors , pressure wash , and drive it dry
