I've done mine with a power washer before, sprayed it with engine de-greaser before hand.
Then after I finished I kept the car running for 10mins just to let the excess water steam off.
Came out nice and clean, keep the water away from the alternator though.

the alternator is not the worry it's the sensors, wiring and small pipes that can be damaged or blown off, but as long as you are sensible about it there should be no problems.

If you dont have the original airbox on dont go blasting a cone filter with the engine running

Am an absolute lover of clean engines, never new Andy done a bit of spit n polish, but believe me, every thing this scooby doctor does is class, my car is now 15yrs old and driving like new, new tyres at week end and still loving blowing away anything but other scoobz on the the road, brand new vxr`s ha, m3`s ha, gt wotever`s ha, z sumthings ha, dare I say vr`s`s ha,type arse`s ha, 2.0 turbo awsome, I wud love to know how much fun you 2.5 beasties feellike when you are playing with other toys on the road, one day I will upgrade.
