Mark_Dj What can be done to an engine with water in it? I have seen alot on the salvage sites the past few days and a nice 2.2 Astra has just come on. Astra Sri 2.2 2001 Indication of damage: BEEN IN FLOOD: ENGINE ?
Mark_Dj I have seen alot with water damage. I was thinking maybe just draining the oil out from the sump plug would take away the water, or most of it
vocky the electrics will be f**ked :shock: my 55 plate vectra got water damage from the ditch I rolled it into, the electrics were all corroded. steer well clear cheers..
Mark_Dj A black 2001 Y reg Astra Sri 2.2 with full Irmscher kit finished auction today for £1000, no pannel damage but flood damage..
Andy16v mmm probably only good for breaking, dam it looks like z83l too! can i have the bumpers and s/skirts please whoever bought it :lol:
Mark_Dj As bad as that, even if the water only went half way to about to the seats? I was thinking at some time I might end up getting something like that. Looks like I won't now 🙂
vocky every terminal will be corroded, every ecu will be corroded, the interior will smell puke.. the engine will be corroded in the combustion chambers and the tb will have water inside the electronics :roll: they don't write them off for no reason 🙁
Mark_Dj Sounds worse than a fire repair, to repair. Cheers for that info, I think I will stay clear in future..
Mark_Dj My mate is buying a Vectra C 2.0 Diesel tomorrow with this damage to it from a flood. It looks in good condition apart from the info below... HIGH LEVEL FLOOD DAM ABOVE SEAT BASE INT+ELECTRI CS U/S WATER INGRESED THROUGH A/FILTER ENG HYDROLIC LOCKED F/BMPR SCRAPED DISPLACED REST OF PNLS INTACT ENG+TRANS?
batcho even if you was very lucky changed the oil and the car would start all the electrics would soon start to break down due to corrosion
Mark_Dj My mate never ended up gettimg the Vectra but he got a Volvo T5 that had been in a flood. I think it was under £300 he got it for M reg...
