Where should I NOT preasure wash??
Matt_H:
better to find the rust and fix it. I remember when I had my first 110 I found a little hole and my landy expert mde started kncoking it out - I was horrified, but as he said it's better to get rid of it and repair properly.

Matt_H:
I'd agree with Chris, the rad is a definate no go unless you want to blast all the fins flat, use a hose with an open end and take your time. Air intake shuldnt be too much of a problem so long as the car is not running )esp on the 200tdi with the water dump valve (not sure if/what the 300 has)

ChrisW:
The air intake 'horn' on the 300 actually connects to the wing to pull air in from between the inner and outer wing just behind the indicator - probably shouldn't be too much of a problem washing there.

I just blast everything !!!
70 degrees outta the hot washer. If it stands up to that then it'll stand up to anything.
Well thats my twisted theory anyway ! :twisted:

My 300 is secondhand and has the trumpet missing, it has been cut off so that it sucks in air from behind the headlight - inside what is hopefully a colder area of the engine bay.
It was suggested to me that this was to avoid it sucking in water when wading (or rather 'spray').
If your 300 Air horn is still intact, would you agree with this statement?
