PLEASE HELP! NEED ADVICE! Hydrolocked
My car was towed back to the dealer after my engine died driving thru 6" of water at about 5 mph. I have an injen CAI. The dealer doesn't know the extent of the damage but said they won't cover it. What should I say to my insurance company to hopefully get them to cover it? Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance

I have an AEM CAI, which I'm going to guess puts the filter in roughly the same location. The bottom of my filter sits at least 10 inches off the ground.
I'm just trying to show how the CAI can't definitely be the problem. If the CAI isn't definitely the problem, Infiniti can't deny warranty service.

I did this twice when I had a Wrangler. The first time I went into a pretty deep 'puddle' and had to be towed out. The engine would not turn over..and being me being nieve, since it was a stick I tried to push start it. Blew a rod out of the oil pan. After having the lower half of the engine replaced, of course, was 4 wheeling again and again got stuck in a 'puddle.' This time i followed my mechanics advice and got towed back home, pulled the plugs and let the engine dry out for a day or two. Put the plugs back it and she turned over. Never had a problem.
Good Luck.
