Technology / Why Does Wifeys Car Engine Get Flooded ?
« on: 23/12/2009 14:44:00 »
I just took my 2009 Yaris (purchased in July) into the Toyota dealership because - as it appears - the exact same thing happened to me.
I had to dig pretty deep to get any sort of information out of them, but they eventually spoke to my boyfriend (*sigh* to stereotypes) and said the Yaris is particularly prone to a flooded engine like this. No further explanation was given, but Karen W's explanation seems to be fitting. The night before, I'd moved the car from the driveway into the garage, and had likely caused it then.
I at least don't feel so bad driving back out to the dealership to pick it up now, knowing that I've got measures to prevent it in the future.
Thanks, all!
