Cars Vibrating

[R34P3R]

so stupid me decided to wash my engine bay today... went to malaga car wash, sprayed it with degreaser and then washed it off... when driving off the car felt different and would vibrate a bit so i stopped to make sure nothing was disconnected inthe engine bay. started driving again and i noticed it sounded like a wrx. so i drove home and it was vibrating all the way. when i took off it would shake, in 3rd going 40 i floored it and heard the turbo spinning but no boost coming on. drove really slow all teh way home nearly in tears

has it happened to anyone before and does anyone know what to do? is it the turbo??

i feel like crying right now

water on the coil packs mate

it'll dry out and will be back to normal once it does

happens to everyone at some point. much like incontinence

omg thanks for the fast reply Dan this makes me feel alot better!!!!

[inthisglass]

take the coil pack cover off and dry everything really well

should be all good

lol thats ok.

happened to me once before after getting my car detailed. i called the detailers to tell them, but they were in the pub and didnt care.

then i still didnt learn and the next time they sprayed my speakers with water...

I still use them though. Its convenient?

ps next time keep the water away from the engine cover at the top (if you still have one)

lmao, its funny how often this happens eh, im a detailer so i deal with it most days... generally its commodores or toyota's that do it... easy to sort out, or you could just keep driving and it will disappear...

Strange thing is, i have never detailed the engine of my car... lol

LOL i understand you pain, hate it when something happens to your car when you have little knowledge so its good to see people here on sauwa help others out!!! Not like other clubs that simply put others down for *asking stupid questions* some people just judge too quickly!!!

You're pretty much right with everything in the engine bay except the coils, keep water well away from them.

Last time I had my engine out I kaned the whole bay with degreaser then hit it with the high pressure gun.

Its called missing. We get cars in all the time after they've been wet, also it all always happens when I clean engine bays. Pisses me off. If you can, use compressed air to dry it off.
