Today was a bad day in quebec rained, freezing rain, snow and such.
I had to cross big pools of water well 7 to be exact about 5-6
meters in circumference. I was going around 10 - 20 KPH through them
hoping I wouldnt stall out in first. Parked the car at work. 7 hours
later on the way home the engines pitch really sounded like it was
struggling at higher rpm's around 3000-3500 and once into 5th a
deeper hum when moderatly accelerating.

I'm leaving it idle right now for 30 minutes hoping to get what
maybe is water in the block well whole system to evaporate.

But I need to know how to tell if there really is water damage or
signs to look for when further driving. It's friday all garages are
closed on the weekend so I cant it done by them.

How deep was the water? How much did it splash?

Water in the block? Sheesh... you'd sure want to hope not. Not very likely
unless you drove through over a foot of water.

I'm sure it was close to a foot. the splash went over the fenders.

Chances are you'd hear some really bad noises if you got excessive water
in
the intake and block. You might want to pull out the air filter and
check
it. If you did pull in some water, chances are the air filter is wet and
no air wants to go through it now.

Well I looked at it when it was warm enough finnaly. The good news
the filter was dry as a bone, flexed perfectly. Bad news is at the
bottom of the box theirs abit of frozen water.

I looked at the oil dip stick. Oil seemed fine no signs of frozen
water on it.

I'll see if its worth to get it looked at. Just bought it 2 weeks
ago and the garrantee still applies.
