1. Matthew T Says: I have a 2001 Deawoo Lanos i was going to get a pressure washer to remove some stuck down dirt around the trunk door and i was going to blast some oil off my minifold to eliminate the smell of burning oil what i want the know is is it safe to do this? should i disconnect the battery before doing it?
2. mustanger Says: It's safe and you don't need to disconnect the battery. Best to let the engine dry before trying to start it afterwards.

yeah just be sure u watch out for the distributor, its usually black and has the same amount of plugs going to it as your car does, i assume deawoo lanos is a 4cylinder car, so it will have 4 plugs going to it, usually found on the left hand centre of the car i believe

EDIT: Nah dw about the battery, if your car doesnt start and there is water in the dissy, i THINK it will dry out by itsself after a while, but if not u have to pull it apart and dry it out, if u do have to do that, remember which plugs go to witch plug spot, lable them with tape or sometihng or w.e.
