I was on my way to work and hit a big puddle and my car died. But
It started fine so thought it was ok when I was going up hill I gave it
Some beans and got to around 4.5k revs and my car just slowly lost
Power and a cloud of smoke came out of the exhaust I'm rather worried
About this and was wondering if anyone knew about this sort of problem
I think the turbo sucked up some water and not sure my brother will be
Looking at 3 when I finish work any advise would be welcome thanks.
