Floods And Now Issues

[cherring]

So as people may have noticed, well those who live in NSW, Penrith got flash flooded last Friday, and well it got into my my car. I had to drive it to go get a plane, then back home tonight from my mate's place who lives near the airport. On the way home the battery light came on, so I assume that this is a dead alternator not charging the battery, but after that my hicas light that stays on permanently (hicas bar in the car) was flickering and my steering got heavy, is my power steering pump likely to be gone as well or is it maybe just run out of power to run it? Also if anyone has an alternator for an R32 gtst, how much do you want for it!

Thanks guys.

Did you check the belts that drive them?

I haven't yet, I'll be popping the bonnet open today, but that is now something I will check, thanks

Also further to that, what should I use to clean my seats with when I have them out. They smell like flood.

The alternator belts are running. Seats and carpet are out now, it smells a lot better and the seats are drying, feeling a lot better about this all now. Just waiting for my alternator now.

How bad were the floods out there? I was pretty lucky, it was just the alternator in the end for me.

I suggest you get your seats cleaned properly man, if there is any moisture in the seats and its forming mould, that could be deadly man. If that shit grows in the seat and you get dust and other crap coming out of it and you breath it in, its not healthy.

I do plan to, I did dry them out pretty well so I'm not too worried about the moisture, that was just from rain as I had left my windows down that day, the flood water didn't quite get seat high.
