Be carefull with that pressure washer.

I have cleaned my engine with oil detergent and high pressure without problems - just kept away from the electric connections and obviously fragile parts.

Many people use PWs for their concrete driveways and terrasses or brick walls, but don't! It will take away the tiny particles, and open up the structure to allow dirt and water/frost into the material. The surfaces will get dirty or even break down rapidly.

As allways one should use common sense.

So now you have a screw loose somewhere?? :-))
