I have a 2007 STI and for some reason the I/C spray light will pop on when i go through the gears sometimes but when i push the button the I/C spray light doesnt light up i tried searcjhing but didnt come up with anything

 

if your light comes on that means that the resevoir is empty. fill it up with some distilled water.

 

when it gets low, everytime you accelerate it'll turn off...

Just fill it with some water and you'll be good. be sure to use distilled water...

 

so i filled it up with distilled water and the light doesnt come on when i go through the gears but is the light supposed to come on when i hit the button? I can hear it work but the light doesnt come on

 

no, the light means that the fluid is low. You should be able to hear the pump working when you hold the button down.

 

ok thanks for the help

 

np, have fun with your steee...

 

Quick question....when do you use the I/C spray? You cant use regular sink water? whats distilled water? I ask because people say you can just use regular house water and you only need to spay when your racing.

 

Don't take this the wrong way but the people you talk to are retarded.

Tap water has minerals in it to make you big and strong. In a car, the minerals build up and plug up your lines. Distilled is water in its purest form, no minerals chlorine, or other crap what so ever. Most places that sell water in the 1gal jugs have distilled. Just read the labels.

 

I guess they are retarded. So i can go to the store and by some poland springs water and use that? When do i spray the intercoller?

 

just put in the car and set it for auto, let the car deside if it needs any.

 

Don't you think using distilled water in an I/C spayer is a bit overkill? What do you hope to achieve/alleviate by this?

 

Im new with some of this stuff but how do you set it on auto? The I/C spray button is light up does that meen its set on auto already?

 

What if your driving in the rain and the rain goes into your scoop and on the intercooler thats not distilled water.

 

I dont' mean to laugh, but I'm gonna anyway. HAaaaa, ok I'm done. Rain is distilled, water is evaporated, as it continues to rise it condenses forming clouds, as it condenses further it eventually becomes saturated and begins to rain. Their resoning behind the distilled water is as it evaporates, the Disovled solids in the water are left behind, mostly in the form of Silica SiO2 and Calcium Ca. But the evaporation occurs externally on the intercooler not internally, seeing as how the velocity of the air that goes through the IC there really is no change that the minerals will deposit. Just wondering their train of though of the issue.
