well i was driving home from work and it was a crazy storm here in tampa,Fl...long story short i was going insanely slow through a puddle when suddenly my car just shut off and wouldnt turn back on...im thinking that my aem intake sucked up water and the engine is seized. Im just looking for any other advice that would be helpful. has this happened to anyone else? does insurance cover it if it still has full coverage on it? please help...thanks in advance..

 

I work at insurance and I have seen 1 hydrolock claim in my days here. It was a newer mercedes and the guy hydrolocked the motor, WE PAID FOR A NEW MOTOR AND INSTALL! I can't say it will be the same in your case though, depends on your coverage and company. good luck man

 

thanks a lot man. i have infinity insurance and i have full coverage on the vehicle...incase that helps at all...

 

it would be claimed under comprehensive since you weren't actually involved in a collision. Your deductible will apply, most likely 500 or 1000. I'd go ahead and file a claim with your company and the best you can do is just wait to see if they will pay for it. They will NOT tell you yes it's covered or no it's not covered. They will tell you to file a claim and it will be looked at upon an individual basis. best of luck

 

thanks a lot honkeydong....

 

 

I doubt that Mercedes had a CAI...

Goodluck w/ the insurance route

 

I wouldnt tell them it had an aftermarket intake system on it.....It probably bent a rod or two..

 

+1 i would return the car back to stock as much as possible before an adjuster comes out

 

yeah the car has the stock parts put on it....
