............ Well sort of ! Haha.

 

Obviously getting a lot of white smoke out the back, the amount of water still in the exhaust pipes was a surprise. It started as soo as the pressure had dumped the water over the floor. Seems to run smoothly however if I rev it a bit it nearly stalls as the idle recovers to normal, seems to be idling about 700ish rpm.

 

Main drama I have the engine still runs after the key has been removed, it turns off after about 30 seconds. I think the turbo timer is knackered as the screen on it is saying zero!

did you clean the Maf ?

 

but glad for u its working

As best I could mate, gonna have another blast with the cleaning spray and do an oil change as the next jobs on it.

use a Cotten bud with some cleaner on it and clean the two bars thats in there

be careful dont push to hard

At least there is some life and it runs Rob.Keep at it mate.

Good news Rob :thumbup1:

Good stuff pal, a little fettling and then joy, yay :)

Didnt see this till after your text but obviously anything I can do to help youve got my number.

Cheers Steve, hopefully it's all plain sailing from here. Got MOT jobs to do on it now as it expired last week.

 

I'm just really hoping the water hasn't caused some unseen damage, the bit of rot on my drivers rear arch has doubled in size since!!!!!!

Happy for you Rob, great news mate :thumbup1:

Hi Pete,

 

Rears are ok, don't know about the fronts yet as need to get a new carpet before I put them back in. The passenger didn't before I took it out tho.

glad it started rob, as other have said give EVERYTHING a good clean, gentle revs and hold the revs to help blow her out

That's very good news Rob - so it might not be so bad after all mate...!!

 

Good luck; I hope you get it back to normal soon and not at too much cost,
