Ok so how many people had to drive in downtown peoria and got caught in the down poor. All i have to say is what the hell is with the drainage system in peoria? I had to drive through like 7 lakes yesterday. It sucked a big one. The car seemed to run good through it though, until i got home and then it started acting funny. Every time i started to get in to boost it would cut out. This happend once before in morton but the car died then, so i let it dry off for a day and it ran perfect after that. Hopefully that is what will happen this time. For my final thought i would just like to say get the sewer guys out to clean the sewers and this shit wont happen next time. DO YOUR FREAKIN JOB PEOPLE!!!

maybe the car was just skeered of the big thunder boomies? lol j/k This happened a few times on our 1g tsi fwd when it had been pouring out for a decent amount of time. But, Like yours the problem seemed to go away after it had a day or two to "dry out". I never did understand why it did this....if you find out why, or if anyone else knows then please clue a sista in

On top of that, his blower motor didn't work, so we had NO defrost. Talk about steaming up some windows! Luckily we had a towel to wipe the windshield every 30 seconds.

sorry to hear about your boost cut. My car ran great today. I think it just needed to dry out. Very confusing.
