My Skoda is 2007 - the feature difference is considerable given they are only 3yrs apart and the Skoda was 30% less ($30k). The cultural differences in what Japanese builders think important & Germans / Czech think important are quite interesting.
Honda didnt have it here to cut costs and maximize profit margin.
Just a tiny bit, like 1 to 2cm. Something to do with cavitation of oem pump under pressure or something.Quote:
Overfill the PS reservoir? Got a link as to how much?
just saw that cabin filter and it reminded me that mine is overdue.Quote:

No but on the surface of it, 3 layer carbon filter, sounds pretty good.Quote:

Did a mechanics apprenticeship in the early '80s. Stayed with it for a while and then realised it was killing my love of cars so I went and did something else. It took about 10 years before I became "enthused" again.Quote:

Stupidly sold it and bought a 1600 Capri. Water injection did almost nothing (nor did extractors or anything else).
Re the cabin filter.
Paid $5 off AliExpress. Still waiting - glad I'm not in a hurry.
Was thinking about using open cell foam like they use in fish tank filters - you could wash that whenever you felt like it.
Hmm,I see.All makes sense to me. Water/meth injection I also thought wouldn't do much on my honda,more a big hp mod.
Not much on a stock motor.Quote:

Also controled water injection is a very good cylinder cleaner.
Good for turbo / supercharged engines as it reduces intake temps. I'd love it on my Octavia.Quote:

The Falcon ran quite lean due to the extractors and the way I had it jetted. I also had the spark plugs gapped to 1.5mm which was unheard of back then (MSD6a ignition helped a lot).
I had the msd system on the honda for a few years,I semi miss that...and had the spark plug gaps at 1.5mm too . Obviously meant for bigger set ups but I loved the smoothness it would give you.
