welcome to the forum.

How wet did you get the electronics in the engine bay...... come on own up.

leave the bonnet open if you can to get some air flowing around.

Id not let a jet wash near a modern engine.

Max id use a sponge and shampoo and a hose on trickle for isolated areas.

Hi Gavin welcome.
I'm with Mioba on this one. Try and get everything thoroughly dried out and hope for the best!
