Volcanic Ash

[Racingdude009]

Just wondered if Volcanic Ash can damage my cars engine ?

[redtwin]

Yes it can.

It wouldn't damage paintwork let alone the engine- Not in the UK at least, if you were in Iceland it might be different.

Best avoid taking it up to 20000 ft where the dust is then

I doubt in this country theres not enough ash to clog a normal air filter.

My car was coated in fine light grey dust (almost like cement powder) yesterday morning in Manchester.

My car was encased in molten lava this morning. Should I be worried?

st.... Mine too...... It must be South Wales thing. Do you know if a bit of cutting compound and a mop will get the marks off?

T-cut!

In fact someone's heading over to Iceland with a bottle right now to sort that damned volcano out.

Mine appears to have been bombed by the seagul equivalent of the Dambusters, but no lava as of yet

This is why cars have air filters...

[The Black Duke]

Do they protect the paint then? COOL!!

Only if it was parked extremely close to your house.

Have you tried washing it?
