Hi all, I am new here and have potentially done something daft.
While driving my partner's 2015 Mk3 fabia in some particularly heavy rain earlier there was a section of flooded but flat-ish road, about 25 metres long. I pulled over and watched a few other cars go through, most took the centre of the 2 lane road along the dashed line and appeared to have no issue, there was clearly standing water but not *that* deep and no hidden dip or anything like that. I decided to take the same middle of the road line, which fitted with the camber as the most likely shallow point, and proceeded through slowly (potentially not as slowly as I should have done in retrospect) but keeping the revs up.
Halfway through water started pouring in to the passenger footwell (it probably looked more dramatic to us than it was in reality) through the blower vent, you could hear the fan whining so I presume there was some water going through this system. I can only assume that water has managed to get to the cabin air intake point, but I'm struggling to find on google where this is on a Mk3 fabia. On my Passat it's at the bottom of the windscreen and would have been well clear of any water.
Secondly, assuming water has gone through this system what are the likely ramifications? Everything now seems to work fine as it did before, car drives normally and fans and A/C work as they should. Is there anything we should get looked at?
Obviously the passenger side foot mat was removed to dry before soaking in to the carpets.
Cheers all for any tips!
