Disco 3 Side vent is is safe to spray water inside? ESF |
|
Hi Guys,
I got Engine system Fault right after I washed the car with spray pressure..no water that I can see on the foot places etc..
I know it could be coincidence but I am absoolutely sure it has to do the with the water and the fact that I cleaned the engine boxes etc..( just wet cloth)
So I did spray a lot of water while washing towards the Side vent is that safe ..The Car was offf ofcourse while I did that but can water go insde somehow//
or shoudl these be the EggR valves blocked

By side vent do you mean the air intake in the wing?

Hi,
The vent on the right side of the car above the tire yes side vent..
12 hours after the car was left and dried I don't get that ESF notice any more tried starting 12 times driving for 2 hours on and off no ESF all perfect ..I notice water ( wet floor feet ) on the right passenger side so ..I guess some water came in ..

Obviously yours didn't get quite this treatment but firing a jet wash into the air intake isn't the greatest of ideas.
