I am very angry with my father in law...
Hello yall...
I took the MPS out this weekend and visited my parents in law on the other side of the country; it was such a lovely weekend with my wife, spirited driving through nature, and overall enjoying the great weather and scenery.
The car got expectedly dirty with dust and pollen, and my father in law decided to give it a wash. He did not stop to the outside... he took the hose to the fucking engine bay, too.
He did not cover any electricals at all. He just went to town with the hose.
Well, while the car still runs and I get no codes, there are 2 consequences:
1: the car doesn't pull as aggresively as it did before the bath. I can't properly explain, but I used to feel the kick when I would floor it. Now it goes very linear and very smooth, and I dont like it. I feel like it lost some power.
2: the bose speakers do not work anymore. The systems turn on, the phone connects to Bluetooth, stuff appears to connect, the displays work, the radio channels are selected, but there is no audio coming out of the speakers. I have the Bose with the trunk subwoofer version, using the OEM head unit.
I checked the fuse boxes, both inside the cabin and the engine bay and the fuses are all good. That is the extent of my troubleshooting, for I have no knowledge, nor electrical tools. Before I take it to a shop (for which I am doing a search right now), I wanted to pop the question in here as well.
Maybe I am missing something obvious, I don't know.
Cheers.

EDIT: I am not really angry with my father in law, he always means well, and I was frustrated. It is possible the sound issue is completely unrelated to the water, and the car pulling... well, maybe I got used to it (I dont drive it very often, but that weekend I did drive it about 400 KM so maybe I had gotten used to it). Thank you all for your suggestions, I will check asap the spark plugs, and tomorrow I am taking the car to a shop to do some electric diagnosis.
