MasAyinde Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So we had a lovely water main break a few nights ago and our street got completely flooded. Lucky for me, my car was parked at an angle and the water managed to find its way into my car on the passenger side. There was TINY puddle on the carpet but it looks like the carpet was soaked about an inch deep. As soon as I heard the commotion outside, I ran to my car and disconnected the battery. I have the windows down halfway and the moonroof half open to let sun in and to let it dry a bit. I'm having trouble with one connector on the passenger seat, so right now it's just tilted back with the rear seat belt holding it upright. As far as important electronics go, is there anything under the passenger seat that needs to be replaced before I reconnect the battery? I checked out some vacation pics and it looks like there's a high speed combination meter under there, but to be honest I have no idea what it is, how to replace it, and how much wire splicing and soldering I'll have to do. Worst case scenario, I'm not above ripping our the entire interior and replacing the whole wire harness, but I'd much rather not do that. I was planning on swapping to black anyway.

Max Capacity Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Someones insurance should cover the damage. Have you called the city yet ? Have you called your agent ? I don't believe there is much under the passenger seat of the 05, just the seat stuff. If you have sub it's under the drivers seat in a 05. I'm thinking you should be fine. I'd PM m sprank first, I'm sure he'd be able to help you. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

MasAyinde Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thankfully I didn't install the sub yet, I was going to do that this coming weekend. Insurance is a $500 deductible and it will probably get my car branded as a flood damaged car when I'm not sure there's any damage at all. Of course, if I dry everything out and nothing works, I'll make it an insurance matter, but I don't think that I need to just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmith40a Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Damn, that sucks. Saw it on the news, it made a pretty big hole in the ground. good luck with drying it out, this humid weather isnt helping. Maybe a long ride with the AC on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Go to a detailer and have them do a steam clean/extraction on your carpet. It will remove all the upcoming smell as well as the water. Should be under $200. I know from my fish sauce incident (in case you missed that thread search it... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
