hi guys new on here and first post and I need help with my daughters car last week we had continues rain and she had to drive through a deep pool of water which has soaked all the floor inside the car and the water went over the top of her bonnet

now the car wont start I have checked all the fuses and relays all seem fine the only other thing I can think of is has it affected the ecu if so can I just replace this or is there more to it than that

Welcome
The ECU could have got flooded. Is the car still drying out?

hi happy kat yes the car is still drying out but it started up the next day with out a problem apart from having the pretensioner lights on if the ecu is scrap is it just a case of swaping it for a new one or is there more to it

ECU can be swapped so long as you also get the transponder for the key.

You should also aim to get the same version of ECU of which there are four.

Also probably worth some further diagnosis as there are also sensor inputs which will prohibit starting, depending what you have in terms of dash lights, response to the key etc.
