Whilst cleaning my Cooper yesterday, my 5 year old son decided to "clean" my exhaust pipe by spraying water into it!

He used a standard garden hose (running from a water tap) with a jet nozzle attached. He must have been "cleaning" it for about 5 seconds.

I ran the car around the block for ten minutes (to normal engine temperature) to dry things up - it seems to run as normal.

Has anything been damaged; i.e. the Catalytic Converter etc?

nothing to worry about

You could have stood him by the exhaust then soaked him with a quick rev though
