99 c230 kompressor
i have a strange problem. everytime it rains, or i drive through a puddle the car bogs down for a few minutes. then, the car will sound like it has some sort of exhaust leak.
initially i was thinking there's water getting into the intake somehow, but wouldn't a hole that big make the car idle pretty shitty? the main intake tube is right next to the headlight...that's a bit too high for a puddle...i think.
now i'm thinking it's possibly the exhaust taking in water. if that's the case though, a leak that size would be loud enough for me to hear.
any suggestions???
