Forgot to do mine - missus driving to work and car spluttered to a halt - everything worked except engine - tried everything and then thought about plenum drain, not sure if the 12 inches or so of water in there helped the ecu much - will send off ecu next week to ecu doctor (or any recommendations especially if power increase could be involved) for test and repair......hopefully car will then at least start and hopefully no other issues....espcially as car will now only be used for towing next year.

I would contact Marina Brian first before sending it off to the ECU doctor.

just done mine to for the first time, after reading these, Good job I did as the water was nearly up to the bottom of the ECU.

ecu flooded
Quote:
out of interest what is the box sitting next to ecu - a relay of some kind? this also needed drying out! no comms from ecu on a friends diagnostic. Have emailed Brian...... if it gets too expensive may have to sell her as is ......as now only used as a 'spare'/ tow car... |

Oh well bad luck there with the ECU, but I'd think that Brian can get you sorted if anyone can. Your car is a Diesel yes? then I think the relay will be the glow plug relay.

I've been meaning to get round to doing this for quite a while. I think if my 190 passes its MOT tomorrow, I'll go and buy the bits needed and get it done. Hopefully it's not too bad as I can't hear any sloshing when driving, but I'm a bit worried nonetheless.

You don't need to buy any bits to check the plenum,just a pozi screwdriver to remove scrivet screw,then lever off the window clips,& remove cover.
