Yes, I've been doing inlet cleaning with water for years. If you own VW group cars with direct injection it's an essential bit of maintenance.
I use a mix of 2 parts water, 1 part degreaser and 1 part mineral turps and make up about 2 litres of cleaner. I inject it using a garden sprayer so that it is pre-atomised.
In the 80s i used to run Injectronic water injection on my Falcon & Capri
Ah sweet,interesting.
Sounds like you have been playing with cars for a while . What was the water injection like? just water yeah?
I have no idea why the photo isn't working. Photobucket folder is set to public. The photo shows on my screen (but it would). I'll try again later if someone also has problems
I can see the photo fine,
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.
The european version of the same accord had Radar cruise control and crap like that from back in 2005/06.
Honda didnt have it here to cut costs and maximize profit margin.
Overfill the PS reservoir? Got a link as to how much?
Just a tiny bit, like 1 to 2cm. Something to do with cavitation of oem pump under pressure or something.
They all work the same, since the Euro's A/C system is not rated to run high efficiency filters such as HEPA.
The ones in the link will filter out your usual dust, pollen, bees etc, and the activated carbon will adsorb some odours as well. The filtration part will last the 2 year changeout life, but the activated carbon will probably be saturated well before then. Give it a go.

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.
Water injection was mainly water but I'd pour some metho in every now & then. It was fantastic on a manual 3.6L XT Falcon I had. You could run triple the timing and fuel economy was amazing an 10L/100km (it had a multi-spark ignition, 350 Holley & extractors as well).
Stupidly sold it and bought a 1600 Capri. Water injection did almost nothing (nor did extractors or anything else).
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.
Good for turbo / supercharged engines as it reduces intake temps. I'd love it on my Octavia.
It would work on the Honda provided you could access timing and fuel maps.
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.
