Caugh caugh splutter

[Dave_b]

Driving along today... pissing it down and the car just started to caugh and splutter.... tryed to accelerate and nothing happened. Clutch in and it just about cut out. Gave it a wee bit of a boot and it jumped back into life.

Done this a few times, i don't have a raincatcher on yet could water be getting into somewhere it shouldn't?

Have a raincather sitting to go on.

[MatBrown]

Yes, Sounds like water is getting into the plugwells.



Mat.

So when i fire the rain catcher on that will detour the water away from that area?

[Rich]

yup so do it sooner rather than later!

[Dave_b]

Gonna get it done tonight me thinks just need to find bolts for it.

Sorry to piss on your bomb fire but the bonnet vent is above the exhaust manifold not the plugs/leads. I ran my car without a rain catcher for a long time and the water definately doesnt get near the roker cover.

water sits on top of the inlet on mine!

i have a valver rain catcher for sale tho

I ran without a raincatcher for some time, and had no problems, but that doesnt mean to say anyone else wouldnt have problems..
