I drove through a deep puddle today and the car stalled?
I thought it would dry out after a while bit a guy came to look at it and he said its knackered. There's something that needs doing with the head? Some pipes where the pistons go or something? I wouldn't know anything about engines which i suppose is obvious because i wouldn't have chanced the puddle if I'd have thought it was going to kill my car. Its a Ford Mondeo and its lower than i thought which is what has got me into this trouble in the first place. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Most of the time when people do this it isn't the engine unless the water was up past the tail pipes. Usually water gets up near the electrical and shorts out or kills the motor. Many times waiting a few says to let things dry out works you can speed up the process by cleaning out all the electrical components. I would not suggest this to YOU because you are more likely to mess something up. Wait a day or so and see what happens.
Very common and most likely not going to be a problem. If you got you belt wet you might get a speaking two while running for the next hundred miles or so also don't be alarmed if that happens

- I have a ford mondeo that had broken down. I called AA and they ran it through their computer and it said fuel sensor problem. I went to a? Garage and they replaced the fuel sensor. I drove up the street and the car broke down again. Plugged it in at the garage and it said fuel sensor fault. The garage then took that fuel sensor out and put it back in the car it was from and it was working. What could be the problem?
- I drove my Ford Fusion through really deep flood waters and I'm worried I was stuck out in a bad position where I had no choice but to drive through flood water. My car seems fine today, however you can never be too sure and I heard it's possible to have long term damage. What should I look out for?
- Drove over hill too fast and car is making a thumping noise? I have a 2003 ford focus. Today I was driving and went to make a turn fast and went up a hill and it hit my car and made a loud noise. When pulled up my car started making a thumping noise I thought that it was the tire but when I popped the good and accelerated while in drive the engine was moving up it's still running fine but moving and making a thump when accelerating. What could be wrong with it please help.
