well my brothers 06 z got flooded up to the tires then the car shut off now it wont start we waited a couple of hours and tried to start it and i heard a popping noise any idea what went wrong will dealer cover this problem???

 

OK , How high did the water get ? 1 2 or 3 ? and do you have a cold air intake?

 

+1 and don't try to start it again. Get it towed to a shop or the dealer.

 

Yup these are the important questions. Your tire is 26" in diameter....technically if you drive through a 1mm deep puddle the water is "up to your tires".

 

If it hit the 1 mark, you are soooo SOL .....

 

dibs on the headlights

 

2 and 3 may be okay. He may have just hydrolocked. Many times the car will shut off before the water actually reaches the engine. If it's 1 then you may be talken about eletrical problems. +1 on calling the insurance at that point.

 

Hertz?

 

That would be wrong

 

I think someone took my turbo off from the factory.

 

Don't try to start it again and get the car hooked up with your insurance company. If they have a guarenteed repair facility, use it. Most carriers have shops that will agree to warranty the work they do for the life of the time you own the car.

Oh, before you do any of that, make sure your insurance premiums are current!

 

I feel for you. My 2006 Z got flooded back in Nov of 06. The garage it was in flooded approx 1.5ft or about 1" above the line you see from the rocker merging with the quarter panel. I promptly striped the interior (seats and as much of the carpet as possible, then went to Lowes and bought a dehumidifier. Left it in there for about a week straight. Before doing any of this, make sure you takes lots of pics for the insurance. I ended up keeping mine after finding out that the BCM (located next to the clutch pedal behind the cover) was causing some of the issues. Also had to replace the alternator. Total cost w/o labor = 250 (alt) + 400 (bcm). Depending on the type of flooding it was (sea/brackish water or fresh) will dictate whether the insurance will total it or fix it. Mine was in brackish water and it was declared totaled. The upside - I bought the car for 1/3 of the price it would have cost me. Let me know if you need more info.
The big decision - do you want to keep the car? If you decide to keep it, flush all the fluids and go through it with a fine comb, even after you get it running.

lol if you get up to 1 you are absolutely f*cked!

 

i wouldn't even know what to do if it got to 1 .. cuz your car shut off and you can't get out of the car ... and your worse nightmare would be if more water piled up and now you're caught under all that water ... lol yikes.
