Stage II TT CEL Help!

elliotty · 04-28-2012, 01:40 PM

Well I pulled the intercooler and it was full of water. Probably close to a gallon. It looks like the water was dripping in through the passenger side air filter and collecting in the charge piping. I really don't want this to happen every time the car sits in the rain. I am thinking about fabricating some sort of drip shield for that filter. Any thoughts?

It was A LOT. I can't believe I didn't hydro lock. When I unbolted the clamps on the charge pipes and pulled them off the lower sides of the intercooler, water poured out. I took a bunch of the pipes off and ran air through the system to dry it.

I really don't want this to happen again!

Few questions

-Do you have all you undercar panels installed on the car ?

-Are the fake vent removed or still in the bumper. although the fake vents will allow a direct air flow to air filters also they will do the same with rain as well .

If all you undercar panels and the fake vents are on the car and still getting water in the system then you must not be paying attention to how deep the water you are driving in.

Note the filter location/height in the pic I'm posting, the don't sit low enough to cause what you are experiencing, Unless you driving the car in some real extreme weather.

Hope this help

Sam
