Evening all, an odd problem I've noticed on wet days. After driving through a puddle or lots of surface water, I'm occasionally getting power loss for about 30 seconds afterwards.
The engine sounds 'flat' too.. Hard to describe, but the usual 2.5 nad rumble is replaced by much higher pitched blowing sound.
I thought water might be getting into the air box, but I've since sealed that up along with the dump valve on the bottom too, but I'm still getting the problem.
At a bit of a loss as to what it could be. I can't imagine spray is getting up into the air intake, it's pointed into the corner of the wing behind the sidelight.
Cheers all
