Hi
I want to decarbon my engine
The best way to do this supposedly is to
1 Make sure the engine is warm
2 While the engine is running
3 spray water as a mist form down the intake pipe
this will then go into the throttle body and into the engine getting rid of carbon deposits through the exhaust
4 squirt water every five seconds then stop for ten seconds
Then keep doing this
5 give the car a good run
Has anyone tried this?
water meant to be the best to use?
Cheers

Don't think that would work at all. Why would it work? Does the engine need to be 'cleaned out'????

I cant imagine spraying water into your engine is going to do any favours.

A good fuel additive or regular use of a quality petrol should be enough to get rid of any build up. If it is that coked up that these don't work, then it's going to be a strip down job.

I would avoid purposely putting water in my engine...if it gets into the cylinders in a big enuf quantity it can damage the engine...water in the combustion chamber isnt great.
What do your spark plugs look like??

Just drive it. Pottering round town at low revs and idling a lot can coke them up. Just use it at higher revs with decent throttle openings and it will be fine.

Probably will be more effective to use a few tanks of premium fuels or perhaps fuel additives that cleans the fuel injection system. I don't see how spraying cleaners from the intake can really help but I may be wrong.
That along with oil change or perhaps even engine flush if it is a mess.
What sort of engine noise are you trying to remedy? Engine ticks or tapping noise?
