An automated pressure washer system 100, 1000 and a method of operation for the system, for cleaning radiators of an engine of a rail vehicle. The system 100 comprises a nozzle mount 200 comprising a fluid nozzle 300 carried on a support guide assembly 102 which defines an operational plane defined by an x-axis and a y-axis, the x-axis and y-axis beingperpendicular to one another. The nozzle mount 200 is moveable relative to the support guide assembly 102. The support guide assembly 102 is configured to constrain the movement of the nozzle mount 200 to positions on the operational plane. A control system 400 is operable to define the positions of the nozzle mount 200 on the operational plane. The system may have a first 114 and second 115 x-axis support guide a y-axis support guide 116 and a z-axis support guide (118. Fig. 28); and x-axis, y-axis & z-axis actuators 130, 132, (134, Fig. 28) respectively; all mounted to a support frame 120. The support frame 120 may have an aperture 122 in which fluid from nozzle 300 is direct through. The nozzle may be a flat spray nozzle configured to generate a flat spray.
