When putting any water on the engine, the emphasis must be on low pressure water. The best is to keep the amount of water to a minimum, and let it flow down. Do Not use water pressure to remove grease - use scrubbing.
Especially on the newer cars, a high pressure water stream can be expensive. Water can get into the connectors and electronics and do some very nasty damage. I'll bet that there will be folks that have used high pressure hoses with no damage, but that's more luck than skill. I have heard first-hand from folks that work at Saab of some very unfortunate results of high pressure water.
