        I hear you Fat Audi 80

        and I too think gentle soak with normal hose should be fine.
        I was initially on about proper steam cleaning but seems that may not be so good
        But I did mean STEAM and not power washing!!!

        It sure did the trick on your engine bay though!!!
        would it not start afterwards then?? how much was the damage??
