new car plus a flood...
« on: 10 February 2009, 13:58:17 »
Hi all,
        I've jst bought an omega 2.0l 16V 99 reg,
Last night I drove into a flood, I manged to get out of it again but this morning I took all the air intake system off and dried it all out because water got through the airfilter, when i re fitted it all the engine is making a squealing sound, and I dont think its a belt sqealing.
Does anyone have any ideas what I might have done
Thanks
