Ok my car has now been diagnosed as having a waterlogged ECU And I was wondering how other C20XE/20XE corsa owners got around this problem?

Obviously water has got into the ECU by washing the car/driving it in the rain or somehow like that...

So if anyone has any ideas on waterproofing the ECU etc I'd REALLY appreciate them

Mine was inside the car attached to the kick panel in my nova. If yours is in the engine bay then think about putting it in a sealable bag or summit
