Reply With QuoteHas the engine taken in any water? You may have to take glow plugs out or injectors and turn it over to see if any water sprays out.

My sons d2 TD5 wont start after a swim. We need help
Hi guys.
The D2 unfortunately went through over the bonnet water and it stopped. Water got into the air filter (no snorkel). It did start and run again for about 4 km with the wet Air Filter removed. But then stopped and would not start. I was called out to tow it to his home.
What is happening is that it is almost starting but refuses to keep running. We have dried alll the connections and sprayed all of them under the bonnet and fitted a new Air Filter, but it will not keep running.
Has any one got any more ideas as to what might be the problem? Any suggestions would be welcome

Subscriberg'day Gerry , as per sprovers advice, make sure the ecu is properly sealed before putting it back.
Failing that I might get a chance to have a look mid week
It wasn't out Perkins beach way by any chance ?

Supportergo to the back of the car and unplug the water in the fuel sensor and see if that starts, my sensor bungs up from time to time and that is the fix. Most of the times mine does it is when its been raining and i splash a puddle.
(fwi its on the bottom of the fuel filter located in the drivers side rear wheel area)
this is for a td5 if not a td5 then disregard this post

You may also need to drain the intercooler.
Was it running smoothly when it was running?

Well, yes it was. It was opposite the Torbay camping ground on that track that starts at North Road and goes to the sand bar. We will have to tow it to you if we cant fix it. See ya - Gerry

that creek goes through my back yard, it's about a metre higher than normal , so must've been well over the bonnet, leave it where it it and text me the address , I will be coming in to town tomorrow and will drop by and have a look , your son might have to prepare himself for the worst ( good chance of a bent conrod ) unfortunately .
I will give you notice wrt when I'll be there

I like Slunnie’s diagnoses there is probably enough water getting sucked through from the intercooler to put the fire out, pull a hose off and dip a end tank if you can’t see a drain bolt you never know might be lucky.
