Hi everyone,
I took our Pajero on the beach recently and on return I noticed a welsh plug was knocked open. It is on the rear of the wheel arch, behind the front right wheel. Given its location behind the wheel, its guaranteed a lot of sand went inside (I've restored the plug in this photo): https://www.dropbox.com/s/8e5b3tysaz...ation.jpg?dl=0
I am wanting to flush some water down this welsh plug hole and flush out any sand.
Does anyone know where it goes? Will the sand and water have free exit out of the body? The last thing I want is to make the sand wet and stuck in the body work - but I find it hard to believe Mitsubishi would make such an obvious "trap".
I have identified two welsh plugs under the body, about half a foot behind the wheel arch - these might be likely candidates for flushing out water: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2bnh64t99t...tions.jpg?dl=0
The right side running board is at the bottom of the pic (whoops, I see some dirt that needs removing).
The first welsh plug is in the middle of the frame. I blew compressed air down the wheel arch welsh plug hole and I could feel no air coming out this hole. The other is much larger and at the top, and I couldn't easily remove the plug so I let it sit for the time being.
Any suggestions or ideas?
