Won't Start
The other day I did the stupid thing of reversing out of my garage to clean my baby.gave it a wash drove back in,,,the next morning whilst trying to kick over it would not start.Had to get towed to dealer.The odd thing was there were no error codes stored.So they cleaned the plugs re-flashed no problems since.The moral of this story is always warm em up.
Funny enough the missus responds better when warmed up as well. :D

Sorry that you have to learn it the hardway. I am sure there is an easier way around :o Is there? :p
Hmmmm..... I forgot who was the last person who flooded the engine. I remember there was a flood car and AMG, .. that is all. :o

apana, next time you have to do that there is a simple solution... just make sure the coolant temperature gauge has moved (even just a little) before you shut down. Holding the revs at 3000 for a few seconds is all you should need to do to achieve that. If I need to shut down cold that's all I do... haven't flooded yet.
Better still, do a lap around the block.

I guess you won't let me forget that will you taka.
what I want to know is what these flood fixing flashes are actually doing if people still flood their cars.
