yes i did, the inside fender was ripped off and the cai sucked a bunch of water in...
i do yes
I figured you must have had a CAI. I doubt that would have happened with the stock airbox. Hopefully insurance approves your claim, keep us posted.
***UPDATE: So i am getting a new engine, the original was filled with water...My insurance is going to cover it, they are getting a used engine with 15000 miles on it which is half of what my current engine had, and the new engine will also come with a lifetime warranty and a new turbo. I will only be paying my deductible and the insurance company was actually very pleased to see the "general upkeep and maintenance" done to my vehicle. Im assuming she is talking about the mods i have done but i have also not every disclosed them, i know it is a risk in doing so however it does not really matter as it all worked out in the end i suppose.
As you can tell here is my beautiful civic which i never got to showcase here on the civic x forums. I was coming home from work and didn’t expect the water to be so high, when i drove through i heard a bunch of water going through my car. I heard a bunch of dings and i looked at the dash and tons of lights were on. The next thing i knew i looked up and my car wasn’t moving anymore. I turned it off and then back on again to turn on hazards as the road was very busy. I ended up trying to start my engine not realizing my foot was on the break...So i think i flooded my engine with water but i’m not really sure. Has anybody else gone through something like this? My car has a few mods so it’s not stock at all. But i wanna know what the likely hood is if my car will survive or not. Any info anyone may have helps. Thanks in advance.
That's some wholesome to read. Good luck with the car.
IMHO, the damage was caused by driving on a flooded road. While the CAI may have played a role in assisting water get into the engine, it didn't directly cause the damage.
