Water in Engine
#11
Thanks for your support guys. I am in need of more advice.

Remember the engine was locked solid and would not turn over or move the slightest.
I took out the glow plugs. She turned over just on the starter motor. There was no ignition as there was no compression. Water sprayed everywhere, which is a good thing right!
I turned it over for a good 5 minutes and it looks like the bulk of the water is out of the combustion chamber. It is not hydro-locked anymore. The engine sounds ok on the starter, but I won't count my chickens until I hear it firing up and ticking over.

I removed the pipe going into the air box. I removed the air box. I removed the plastic pipe that joins the air box to the stainless steel pipe that I presume goes into the turbo behind the engine.
I shoved a rag down the stainless pipe and it went round the bend a bit. I pulled it out and the rag is soaking. I hear what you are saying about removing the turbo, but that is looking like a big job (or is it?).

Now my question, once I have dried the MAF and air pipes, should I go for ignition, or do you think it is best to spend a day and remove the turbo bits. I have never done that so it is unknown territory for me. What do you think?

Thanks

Steve
