No , you do not need to replace the computer . You need to forget this water damaged vehicle and look for something else . ---

This will be a money pit. You’ll have weird problems both expensive and cheap, not to mention lack of reliability. Agreed with others, keep looking. ---

> [@ledhed75](#): > > This will be a money pit. +1 If the OP is thinking about buying this car, and if the seller said something along the lines of… _It has a little bit of water damage_… that is probably similar to the woman who claims that she is “a little bit pregnant”. ---

> [@mandrews](#): > > water damage ,do i need to replace the computer If water has corroded the connector where the computer plugs into the harness, replacing the computer circuit board won’t fix that problem. Suggest you provide more info, for example the symptoms you are having. ---

One might ask in all seriousness “which” computer. There are a number of them which can produce havoc, in addition to all the connectors, rust, mold, and insides of the engine and transmission. ---

Mandrews is probably being lured by the very low price of the car. Yah, he went somewhere else to get the answers he wants to hear! ---

Rather than going elsewhere to get advice he liked, maybe he took the good advice here, but was not polite enough to thank you.
