Oh my god!
It rained really hard last night and my car flooded with about 3/4" standing in the floor on the passenger's side (front & back). I drove it out of the water, and the engine internals seem to be fine, so that's good news, but I'm sure the subwoofer (under passenger's seat) is shot, and there's still a bit of water in the car!
Please, what should I do? How do I know for sure the engine internals are ok? Have I lost power? Have I royally screwed my car forever?
What's the best way to get the interior dry again? Does anyone have a subwoofer for less than $235 (Subaru's price)?

Any help/info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Andy

 

If you got water in your engine the main symptom would be it not running, so you're cool. Just make sure all your electricals (power windows/doors/etc) still work. Use a wet vac to get all the water out of the car and do it fast to try and prevent mildewing. You might consider filing a claim with your insurance company to have the necessary equipment in your car replaced although with that I guess you could run the risk of getting your car totaled if the cost to replace things is too high..

 

i'd be more worried about your ECU than your subwoofer. the ECU is bolted to the passenger side floorboard under the dash.

i would pull your carpet out and check your ecu and every other electrical connector that was under the waterline. mop up everything or maybe a space heater to dry things out (be careful and don't set anything on fire though). the last thing u need is intermittent electrical glitches caused by waterlogged connectors and rusty floorboards caused by wet moldy carpets
