good day fellas, new to the peugeot brand, normally a honda owner but recently bought a peugeot 307 for d wifey, due to gettin it at a good price in good condition in a company auction. car was working perfectly and quite frankly was impressed with the features and style of the peugeot. however yesterday i decided to give d engine a wash as it seemed to never hv seen water in years.... i used a drippin hose and some soap, no pressure washer or neting, however after finishing and tryin to start the engine is only tumbling and not starting, i am confused as to what may be causing this....normally with the civic i wash n then she starts in one tumble, but not so with the peugeot.

any ideas/ suggestions? any help would be greatly appreciated

you don't engine wash euros..you get them detailed.
water may have gotten into an electrical component. Please tell me it isnt a 307 hatch back.

yep 307 hatch....

u can pm plex or dlittlelion. they might be able to help.
plenty sensors under ur hood,in the engine bay. At least it is tumbling.

for future reference just wipe down.. disconnect the battery for a lil while.. make sure everything dry then hope it starts.. btw what sounds ur hearing when you try to start? anything weird?

probably fried something expensive and electrical........but might be as simple as blowing out the plug holes and drying the plugs............u better pray it's that

.....get wifey blow dryer put on max and pass it next to the electricals. Once dried should kick in.
