    Hurricane Harvey

    I ended getting about 5 inches of water in my car while it was stored on jack stands in the garage. Can someone tell me what ecu is under the carpet on the driver side?

    The one I pulled out yesterday is that red tag with the last digits 027, how can I that from you?

    Everything's that was in my pocket on my doors like paperwork and things like that didn't get wet. Possibly still good with what's on the inside there

    Sorry to hear about your flood damage. Assuming this is freshwater you may get away with simply cleaning and drying your existing modules. I would give the car a few weeks drying time before re-attaching batteries as it is often voltage+water that does the damage (at least to the electronics and wiring).

    Here is a great video of one guy's efforts to save his beloved BMW's.



    I lived in Houston for 13yrs in a house that backed up to Oyster Creek and never saw anything close to this...
