2002 Sonata VE.. Possible Water Damage.
Today was a bad day in quebec rained, freezing rain, snow and such.
I had to cross big pools of water well 7 to be exact about 5-6 meters in circumference. I was going around 10 - 20 KPH through them hoping I wouldnt stall out in first. Parked the car at work. 7 hours later on the way home the engines pitch really sounded like it was struggling at higher rpm's around 3000-3500 and once into 5th a deeper hum when moderatly accelerating. I'm leaving it idle right now for 30 minutes hoping to get what maybe is water in the block well whole system to evaporate. But I need to know how to tell if there really is water damage or signs to look for when further driving. It's friday all garages are closed on the weekend so I cant it done by them. -- ---------------------------------------------- Posted with NewsLeecher v3.0 Final * Binary Usenet Leeching Made Easy * http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ---------------------------------------------- |

Sheesh... you'd sure want to hope not. Not very likely unless you drove through over a foot of water. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

I'm sure it was close to a foot. the splash went over the fenders.

Chances are you'd hear some really bad noises if you got excessive water
in the intake and block. You might want to pull out the air filter and check it. If you did pull in some water, chances are the air filter is wet and no air wants to go through it now. |

Re: 2002 Sonata VE.. Possible Water Damage.
Well I looked at it when it was warm enough finnaly. The good news
the filter was dry as a bone, flexed perfectly. Bad news is at the bottom of the box theirs abit of frozen water. I looked at the oil dip stick. Oil seemed fine no signs of frozen water on it. I'll see if its worth to get it looked at. Just bought it 2 weeks ago and the garrantee still applies. -- ---------------------------------------------- Posted with NewsLeecher v3.0 Final * Binary Usenet Leeching Made Easy * http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ---------------------------------------------- |
