The X250 plastic engine cover is on the 3 litre at least inadequate.
If the scuttle hasn't been sealed then any water running onto the cover runs straight off the front directly onto the throttle body electrical connector.
This on mine results in the engine management light coming on frequently with a throttle actuator fault code.
So I've knocked this up as a trial cure.
