Does full coverage comprehensive insurance cover flood?

aw better if its totalled. I really hate working on those things. They are such a pain in the ass. I hope you get alot out of it.

[Axxe]

I thought it was better than an e36?

[BlackSpeed66]

I'm not an adjuster but I find that in almost all of our flood claims, if the water goes higher than the floorboards we "OTL" the car (obvious total loss). Given that there are a lot of computer modules in the floor area of newer Audis that are quite costly to replace..... stick a fork in it - she's done.

Kind of a blessing, really...

Time to replace it with a proper RWD German sports sedan.

Werd. An Audi just isn't worth the time or effort if there isn't an "S" in front of the model designation. Even then, it's... eh.

Why on earth would any decent engineer put delicate electronic equipment in the FLOORBOARDS of a car?

Hope this works out good for you.

I already have a backup e30 for her to drive.

how did this happen?

[BimmerTom]

I checked the oil and it's like sandy clay. I'd say it's done.

Isn't that a normal oil condition for all 1.8T engines?

Coming from a current 1.8T owner...

how did this happen?

Flash flood. We got 9 inches of rain in about 3 hours in my area. I got stuck in it and was trying to get home. The water looked fairly shallow but about halfway through I must have hit a dip and water rushed over the hood and windshield.

buy kenikas 10k dollar e. its show ready

[scabzzzz]

No shit, that is a blessing. Those cars are turds. Surprised it didnt pwn itself long ago.
Buy her a clean late model E36 and be done with it. At least you know it will last (sans automatic trans).

the same happened to my escort gt. water up to the bottom of the seats and my cd changer and 1 amp under the seat was submerged.

my dad left it in front of his friends house and it was raining really hard. when he came back i guess the water subsided and he tried to start it. i have a cold air intake that is down the fender. good thing he didn't start it with the water still up. car won't start and i had it towed to my house. never tried to start it again and let it dried for a week.

i air dried the interior, sprayed lysol, removed my amp and changer to let dry as well. i removed the air filter and afm. checked the oil and it was fine. i blow dried the engine to make sure and reconnected everything. the car started right up but my radio is still not working. i used seafoam and changed the oil, drained the coolant and replaced too. i'll reconnect my amp and see if it plays. other than the radio, no electrical issues at all.

i was bumed because the car was a great daily and for a 91 model it only had 75K miles. it had no full coverage and it's probably only worth less than $2K running.

unless water got in the engine, trick is to let everything dried before starting. disconnect the battery ASAP to avoid any short.

this was my first car
