Can anybody please tell me how should I clean the engine comparment from
dust and dirt ?

Water always works real nice.....................

seriously, maybe I'm doing it wrong but i get some engine cleaner/degreaser,
take it to the local do it yourself car wash, pop the hood, spray the stuff
on, set the wand to rinse, and hose that sucker down.

I like the degreaser car wash idea but, Cover the electronics/fuse
box/ignition coil/alternator and any other electrical stuff.

every couple of months I soak the dirty spots with Simple Green, then spray
everything off with a pressure washer, taking care not to soak the
electronic parts too much. The engine compartment in my 19k mile WRX looks
pretty good using this method

Diesel fuel works fine.

I use a hose, and an old toothbrush...

For scrubbing, I use a toilet brush (bought NEW just for this
purpose). I also put a small plastic baggie over the master cylinder
resevoir (both brake and clutch) and wrap a rubber band around it.
I also use a pressure washer, but keep the nozzle end at least 18" or
so away from anything that could be damaged. I did this routine every
week for two Minnesota winters on an impreza RS and a Honda CRV with
no troubles.
