Try stickin' an air line (between yer fingers coverin' one of the holes) in it tae help blow some of the water out. If it doesn' smell of petrol then use a hairdrier like what was mentioned earlierdidnt have any in me garage BB or i would have... hence why i used/ran out of petrol... hmmmmmm... i think naturally dry is going to be the only way for tonight and tomorrow. may have to leave it till sunday before refitting

If it doesn't smell of petrol you could use a blow lamp - lol
Stand it up overnight so either the intake side or turbo side is pointing downwards to any dribbles can come out. There's no way come the morning there's going to be enough water in there to damage anything.
Recently had the air filter in me 90 sopping wet after some fording... when the water comes through the filter it's in a seriously fine mist - just the same as it would be if it's blown off the inside of yer IC. Hydraulic lock needs a hell of a lot more water than a few tiny droplets anyway.
Use a hairdryer for peace of mind like buster suggests if it's still bothering yer
Cheers,

cheers folk,
worried more about the petrol and things going bang or catching fire to be honest
got plenty to do tomorrow anyway, so the IC has most of tomorrow too. will use a hair drier on it last before refitting.
thanks for all your help.

If yer old hoses were a bit manky then it might be an idea to just whip yer IC out and give it a clean anyways
this is for the Def 200tdi, but ye'll get the gist

mine wasnt that dirty to be honest. 2 flushed with petrol and it all came out. dont think it had been cleaned before, but then it hadnt seen any mud before i got hold of it either. no noticable diff to performance either like some are suggesting. guess it depends on the amount of crud in there.
