I have a manky & dusty bay I want to clean out. On a previous petrol engined 
car I ended up knackering the coil
when I got that steam cleaned a few years ago.

Please advise whether its 'sensible' to get it cleaned and should the engine 
be running or stationary ?

I have done several diesels like this, but none with modern electronic
controls etc. I usually do it along with the underside of the vehicle just
before it's test.

But definitely with the engine stopped. You don't want it to be ingesting
water. For the same reason you should avoid blasting the water up the air
intake.

Make sure you block those open hoses up well, where you have removed the
intercooler!
