About this service
A neglected engine bay hides oil leaks, accelerates rubber deterioration and makes routine maintenance harder for your mechanic. Layers of road grime, grease and salt build up over years and can even become a fire risk in extreme cases. Keeping the engine bay clean is practical care, not just cosmetic.
At T&H Car Care in Borne, we clean engine bays safely using controlled steam and professional degreasing products from Koch Chemie. We protect sensitive electronics and connectors before we start, then thoroughly clean and dress all surfaces. The result is an engine bay that looks well maintained and makes problems easy to spot.
Clients from Hengelo, Enschede and the wider Twente area often book this service before a vehicle inspection or sale. A clean engine bay adds perceived value and shows that a car has been properly looked after.
Step by step
Before we begin, we carefully cover all sensitive electronic components, the air filter housing, fuse boxes and connectors with plastic and tape. This prevents water damage to electronics and sensors. The engine must be cooled down for safe treatment.
With a professional engine bay degreaser, we treat the entire engine block, plastic parts, hoses and all visible surfaces. The degreaser dissolves grease, oil and baked-in dirt without damaging materials. For stubborn contamination, the product is left to work longer.
With controlled steam and low pressure, we rinse away the loosened dirt. Unlike high-pressure washers, steam is safe for all components and does not penetrate sensitive electronics. The steam also dissolves grease residues that conventional cleaning cannot reach.
With brushes, detail brushes and microfibre cloths, we clean all hard-to-reach corners, gaps and edges. Around mounting points, wiring harnesses and housings, work is done by hand for a thorough result without risk of damage.
The engine bay is fully blown dry with compressed air to remove all remaining water traces. Then all plastic parts, hoses, cover caps and rubber components are treated with a UV-protective dressing that restores them to deep black and protects against ageing.
