Engine bay Coil packs and Simple Green

[audipotential]

I took simple green to my head on the weekend and scrubbed that shit up. Is it possible that simple green gave me two blown coils the next day or was it coincidence.

I guess that this is no coincidence because a month ago i alsow cleaned my coil pack and after 2 days 2 coil pack went dead 1!!!!!!

how strong was the water pressure used to rinse the engine?

What was your process and did you use any other products along with the Simple Green? From my experience, I'd have to say it's more process than product. I've degreased plenty of engine bays and never had a problem with Audis, or other makes and I use Simple Green diluted all the time.

I have took the coil packs out to clean them didn't wash them with wated but tried to shine them because they became alittle rusty

Rusty? Sounds like they were already on their way to failing before the cleaning. I'm guessing that maybe the water pressure was a little too high and allowed some water to get in and damage the coils.

If the coils were out while cleaning the cover, did you have anything to cover the holes water tight?

Please explain the process you used to do the cleaning (of the cover and the coils).
