Help No Power!

[Gav rav]

Hi all,

Just went through a road which was flooded up to about 30cm and after th Rav lost power and the engine light came on and said check 4x4 system, it also makes a funny noise when u rev. I tried calling Toyota and they are now closed for Xmas!

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to make it better as got o drive 120miles tomorrow!?

Sounds like you could have sucked up some water! Check pipes and see where you're upto! This wasn't in Barry was it by any chance? P/$Sing down here...

Not long ago (so do a wee search....) Anchorman put up some photos as to where the air intake is on the Rav 4.3., Gavin.....when you see where it is, you need to guess and be erring on the safe side.......could water have got that high ( which surprisingly isn't that high )???? Could you have drawn water into engine....?

Check also air filter housing and filter itself.....wet or not.....?

Besta Luck,

How fast did you hit that flood ?

As above.........

You may have sucked some water into air intake...which i believe is behind your nearside headlight,you may now have a wet air filter ??.

Mmmmm not good. Looks like you may have drawn water into the engine through the air intake system. I would be inclined to check for water in the air inlet system and make sure that the air filter is dry. I would also be inclined not to be driving it anywhere until I have had it checked over.

Best of luck with it mate.

Blimey 3 replies in the time that it took me to type this reply. Fast fingers on this forum.

Just checked the air filter and housing both are dry!? Started the car and check vsc and check 4x4 system still coming up along with the check engine? I took it for a drive and car felt fine but then it went into the safety mode and couldn't rev and had no power so came home. Really don't know what to do now?

Is any of THIS info any good??

[Gav rav]

Thanks for that link, it does sound as if I have that problem! I think it's going to be very expensive this!

Had the AA out today and their diagnostic said it's a code P2002 DPF fault!? He tried resetting but it kicked back in then, the AA guy said it could be could it went through water, am gutted as thought the Rav was a 4x4!?

Indeed it is, but it's not a submarine.

You need to give a bit more info so that folks on here are able to help, e.g. did you drive through standing water, how deep, when, anything else unusual happening around same time (misfires, fuelling, etc.), is service history clean, etc., etc. ?????

Sorry, forget the above. I didn't read page 1 first where you have noted the details. I blame the Xmas pud.......

[Gav rav]

Just had toyota call and they reckon dpf needs to be replaced and they found an oil leak so not good, they said its going to cost around £3k! am gutted and have asked them to see if toyota can do anything even though its out of warrenty?!

does anyone have any helpful suggestions?

cheers
