Mistermena 95 Posted December 22, 2012 Sounds like you could have sucked up some water! Check pipes and see where you're upto! This wasn't in Barry was it by any chance? P/$Sing down here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kev 513 Posted December 22, 2012 Not long ago (so do a wee search....) Anchorman put up some photos as to where the air intake is on the Rav 4.3., Gavin.....when you see where it is, you need to guess and be erring on the safe side.......could water have got that high ( which surprisingly isn't that high )???? Could you have drawn water into engine....?Check also air filter housing and filter itself.....wet or not.....?Besta Luck,Big Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rambler 13 Posted December 22, 2012 How fast did you hit that flood ?As above.........You may have sucked some water into air intake...which i believe is behind your nearside headlight,you may now have a wet air filter ??. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Striding Man 11 Posted December 22, 2012 Mmmmm not good. Looks like you may have drawn water into the engine through the air intake system. I would be inclined to check for water in the air inlet system and make sure that the air filter is dry. I would also be inclined not to be driving it anywhere until I have had it checked over.Best of luck with it mate.Blimey 3 replies in the time that it took me to type this reply. Fast fingers on this forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gav rav 2 Posted December 23, 2012 Just checked the air filter and housing both are dry!? Started the car and check vsc and check 4x4 system still coming up along with the check engine? I took it for a drive and car felt fine but then it went into the safety mode and couldn't rev and had no power so came home. Really don't know what to do now?

I didn't read page 1 first where you have noted the details. I blame the Xmas pud....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
