Title: HELP water flooded engine!
Post by: cooltt on 02 December 2007, 11:40

I just need some advice please. I went through a flood this morning(deepr than i thought) and my car stalled, the air filter is down on the wheel arch and is soaking wet. The car won't start and is sat on my drive.I had it towed home because it wouldn't even bump start.

Is there anything i can try before i get the garage to come and collect it.

Thanks.

If i were you i wondnt try to start it. Dip the oil and  see it there appers to be water in the oil. If there is you will need to change the oil and filter before running it, I would change it now anyway just in case!
