After all these years a wet plenum chamber
Driving today i heard the dreaded swooshing of water behind the passenger dash - so opened up the spy hold mod and using an old dipstick to unblock the run off drain - was surprised how long it took to drain clear. Just goes to show always worth a check - luckily my ECM being a petrol one is sealed so no ECM shenanigans. However have condensation in my Xenons for the first time in my ownership - on the passenger side wonder if there is some connection?

A circumcision of your drain tube may be necessary! Ouch!

Rodded my plenum today, 'just in case'.
It took a whole minute for the resulting flood under the car to stop ! That was a bit of a close shave !! |
