If the air filter is wet, chances are the water got inside the engine. And if that is the case, most likely the engine is stuffed. |

QUOTE (WattsyLX @ May 27 2009, 12:01 PM) Yeah, you could try to say that the car was parked in the carpark and got flooded when the water came up i suppose. If you told them you drove through flood water they'll probably just laugh and tell you to go away. I was listening to flood updates on ABC local radio on Sunday arvo and some lady got on whinging about how her car got flooded, and that the government should buy her a new one because she didnt have comprehensive insurance! Same goes with the derro's living in a caravan park in Lismore who didnt evacuate when told.... they want the government to pay for their vans to be fixed! Why does everybody expect the government to bail them out because of their own stupidity?  I drove through some high water and it is doing the same clicking. I called allstate and TOLD THEM I DROVE IT THROUGH WATER and they are going to cover. Your insurance should cover it under a natural disaster. It will still be a comprehensive claim, like an accident and therefore your deductible will be the same, but they are supposed to cover. Tell your mom don't pay attention to the jerk on here. I'm sure they've made their fair share of mistakes too. |

That sounds like a big puddle if it stalled your car. |
