A Friend Of Mine Did That To An M3......shot The Piston Right Through The Block.......see Any Pistons?????........his Insurance Paid For A New Motor!

 

So what was the point to lying about the CAI?

 

Some insurance agencies have been known for checking online for anything like this, if i was going to make a claim, i wanted to make sure i covered my tail.

 

Cloudy, good to hear your car is running again. I just read through everything and got a good laugh from all the battery and starter guesses. My wife hydrolocked our Jeep by driving it (rather jumping it) into a 4.5' water hole, and it shut down like your situation. I got a drag home by a buddy and removed the spark plugs like you did, dried the plugs off, then tunred it over a few dozen times, shooting water some 40' away onto my neighbor's car. I still had to siphon a bit of water out of the intake manifold, but afterward it fired right up, and still runs like a champ today. I would advise getting your oil changed, and if you think the water might have gotten high enough to cover the bottom of the tranny, get its fluid changed as well, but if you were only in it for a few minutes, you might be okay on the tranny fluid. Hope it goes well.

 

Ya already got my oil changed.. and some reason i think it got over filled from the guys at jiffy lube.. cause i just got it back today and it is waaaaaaay over the "High" spot lol.
I saw them put in 5quarts.. i thought you were only suppose to use 3-4?

 

5qts after a full drain.

 

Ya its fine now, iam just retarded and that dipstick is a ***** to check haha.

 

Hey cloudy - thanks for convincing a few of us not to get a CAI

glad to hear your car is okay... you can't let a little puddle take you to the cleaners.
