I was driving in the super heavy rain just now.
With some cars next to me, we speed past a flooded area along the
road at Ang Mo Kio
The water from the wheels of the cars beside me gushed into the
bonnet air in-take for my Turbo Intercooler.
Within a few moments, my car engine trembled, like something clutch
plate slipping, when I step hard on the accelarator and could not
go fast!
It went at slow speed and I parked it under a shelter
carpark.
Opened the bonnet and saw the engine parts next to the intercooler
all wet, including engine oil cover area and some electronic
connection stuff.
I let the engine rest and went for lunch.
Came back half and hour later and drove again....everything is back
to normal.
Anyone knows why this happen? How did the water, which splashed
into the turbo intercooler at the bonnet opening, caused this
stange slipping effect?
