Number one. Leave the car on, when detailing the engine, and a good 10mns after too.

The electronic clutch sensor got wet and corroded.

There are some engine parts that don't like water.

Wow! Talk about reliability!

Quit hating on Ferrari...We all know secretly you're a fanboi.

As for the cleaning, I'd use compressed air and a brush if its just dust.. Meticulous...maybe, but you wont have to worry about water destroying things.

You could also use a steamer...that works great too.

Just search a couple of detail threads to find out about the sensitive parts of your engine. Most modern engines are sealed up pretty good, but some olders ones can give you a headache.
