    What you don't want to see after crossing nolans!

    Perhaps I needs a little air intake sealing
    Might need to fill the airbox to find the culprit

    Pretty glad mate called me to kill her due to seeing exhaust steam.
    Water right thru induction system.

    We seem to have gotten away with it (once dried have driven 100km with no faults etc)
    but bloody close to carnage

    I'm not familiar with the 2.4. Are we looking inside the airbox without lid on? And no snorkel? Cheers

    Vid is of scary side of intercooler
    Disconnected hose at intake manifold
    Airbox was apart and drying
    Air filter wet but not destroyed amazingly

    MAP and MAF both got cleaned with contact cleaner

    Took a few minutes to clear intercooler of all water

    Reckon at least 100mL got past the airbox and to intake

    Snorkel insitu but clearly not 100% watertight

    **** Steve!

    That's scary, I think you've just won a minor lotto prize, that's a little too close for comfort.

    Having recently had the fear I'd hydrauliced the TD5 in the Disco I think I know how you felt.

    At least the chambers will be nice and clean now, they've been steam cleaned !

    Yeah I can tell you that the goldy went down very well
    After I had cleared the water cleaned the sensors
    And she was purring nicely

    Nugget kit is a definite option

    1. Hows the turbo?
    2. I have had water inside my TDCi (2.2) airbox before, complete with splash sodden filter element. Water, at least in liquid form, didnt get past there though.

    I assume the turbine impeller and Vanes have been steam cleaned?
    My hope is water going thru the induction system was misted not a glut full

    Air cleaner was visibly unharmed in processing so I'm guessing it filtered the water into a mist

    Video would be showing the water that collected in bottom half of intercooler being burped out

    System bone dry after 100km up to seisia

    Hoping for the best

    Thinking silastic sealing ducting and dump valve will do as good a job asnugget kit and means access to IC hoses and alternator not hampered by 90mm hose
