Preservation of the engine compartment (Audi 80 B3)

To prevent corrosion of the front part of the car (front fenders, side members or skins) and drive units, the engine compartment, including the brake system elements located therein, as well as the front suspension and steering, must be treated with a highly effective preservative. Naturally, after washing the engine compartment.

Caution: Before washing the engine, cover the alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic bags. Although the alternator bearings are sealed, there is a risk when washing, for example, with steam, that the bearings can be leached by fat-dissolving additives. This can result in bearing noise or even destruction.

After treatment, odors from burning paste may appear in the car in the hottest places. After applying the paste, clean all joints and lubricate with MoS₂ paste.
