We haven't used our car (Vios 2008 model) in about two months. When I checked, I found out that a mommy cat and her kittens are staying in our engine bay rent-free!
That's alright, until I smelled something funny and discovered that there's cat poop everywhere.
I'm obviously a novice when it comes to cars and maintenance, so here are my dummy questions...
1) The engine smells like burning clutch whenever I let it run idly for at least a minute. What could be causing this stench? Is it the cat poop being "cooked" by the engine's heat?
2) Do Toyota service centers offer anything to clean up cat and rat poop scattered all over the engine bay? Is it called "engine wash", or is it something else entirely?
3) How much should I expect to shell out for the clean-up?
4) What other check-ups should I request for to detect possible damages caused by these "pets"?
Thanks in advance!
