Spec C intercooler spray
 

So I feel this question is probably a stupid one but I just want to make sure having never done it before... The intercooler water tank in my spec c needs refilling, is it just normal tap water or should I be putting anything else in it? I would check the manual but I don't speak Japanese :p

Depends if you get proper water out of your tap or that English stuff with scales innit

Tap water is fine.

de-ironnized water from euro car parts 25lt £8 i think

Is that crease free water? Lol

Or if you're not anal, tap water which is free.

Thanks for the comments, I was thinking about hard vs soft water but we have a water softener so water from that would be good?

Perfect.

Im pretty sure every pays for their tap water :norty:

Mine was fine with tap water but joys of scottish water none of that horrid lime scale stuff you guys get

i normally have the water left over :)

I couldn't agree more, I've been to Scotland loads of times, your water is better than bottled stuff!.....and then some.

yeh its good stuff taste nice and does not leave the kettle with a fur coat on it lol

Where I live has horrible hard water but I'll use the softened stuff! Thanks for the advice.

Liquid nitrogen.

Methanol, and spray it inside the Intercooler...

Nitrous and methanol and spray it inside the intercooler:lol1:

Use de-ionized water if possible.

For the sake of a few quid, it'll prevent your engine bay getting covered in mineral deposits that can corrode the aluminium parts and generally make a mess.
