I don't think insurance company would cover damage that was cased by aftermarket parts such as CAI. Cause with stock airbox there will not be a chance to hydrolock.
But who knows...

Check also if there is spots in the engine oil.

So any updates?

 

it's in the shop right now... I'll post a full update tonight....thanks guys... you've been alot of help much better that any of the other forumns i've tried talking too

 

You tried other forums!!?? getout.gif
lol jk but good luck with it man

**oo and you expected differently lol?**

 

That's why you remove the CAI and replace it with the stock intake. You might want to throw some muddy water under the hood to make it look good. I'm telling you from experince as it worked for me years back wink1.gif

 

Geez man, good luck with everything, let us know how it goes.

 

some dirty water inside the airbox?

 

$450 and my car will be up and running again... damn I was really hopeing to get new headers with that money

 

so what happened? what is damaged?

 

I'm guessing the $450 is the cost of you insurance deductable?

 

amazingly no damage... they just had to flush the oil a couple of times and it's prefectly fine.... the mechanic was shocked as hell. He said that normally when any water gets into the engine like that your engine is toast... he even wrote down that it was very unusual. They also replaced my exhaust manifold (recall work) so it actually sounds like its running better then before. I guess I got lucky... only time will tell
