as per title.......

on way home from work t'other day had to swerve back onto my lane and into a large puddle (small lake) on it because of some knob in a merc not checking before he pulled onto the road. car cut out almost instantaneously.

green flag took 2 and a half hours to get to me (not happy bunny)

been sat in my garage with spark plugs out, air filter off and numerous hot air devices on it drying it out.

engine hasnt seazed and my oil n water levels are good so hopefully not too much damage internaly.

gonna try n drop the oil out put some fresh s**t in and see whats what. fingers crossed it aint broke

any other advice for me? anyone else had similar things happen?


cheers for yoru replies in advance

When we had the really bad flooding earlier this year, I had to take the CDA filter off and just have the bare hose forced back over to the battery to (hopefully) ensure I didn't suck anything up.

Engines are cheap enough. Run it until it spectacularly fails and post up photos. Then switch lumps.

Lol this happened to a mates Rallye last Christmas. Following me about 300yds up the road, hit the limiter then BANG. Big trail of bits of metal and oil down the road up until where it was parked and awaiting the AA lol.

thanks for the replies....

sadly i think the engine is deaded. sounds like a full blown bag of nails. tis a shame i might autopsy it this weekend and see what has actually gone. sounds like bearings (all of them) have gone

got a fully working xsi engine in an xsi sat on my drive. maybe i can do some frankensteins monster between the two.
