GEN 2 flooded...HELP EMERGENCY...

[lampasula]

Tonight rained heavily my place, my dad drive his new Gen2 going thru a flooded road. He tried to go slowly but he didnt realise how deep actualy is the water...

halfway thru, the car stall, most probably because the engine compartment was flooded, my family was stuck in the rain in the middle of the road.

when they open the doors and get out of the car, water came rushing in...now the car is all flooded...carpet, cushion etc are all spoilt...

they call a workshop and tol the car back...now my dad is feeling so bad and regret...

normally when this happens, what is the best way to deal with it? send the car to local workshops or eon service centre? would it cost a bomb to get it all fixed?does the car insurance cover man-made accident like this?

please help me out... :( :(

havent came across this matter before.. usually i will advice ppl 2 stop at the side if they see the road is badly flooded n dont really know the how deep the road is..

thats the thing, i ask them why they dont stop before going too deep, they said, water is everywhere, so basically my dad is confuse where to stop or just go on...

so, is it possible for the local workshop to fix the car? or must send to proton?

oouucchh....it sound like...total lost man...
even if u clean the carpet..cushion..it will still give a very bad smell...
wat about the engine..cant start at all...?

Depends... better send to Proton since it is a new car. You may not be able to claim warranty though.

but according to some of my relatives...if send to proton...they will charge us a huge bomb....is the correct?

my dad is very frustrating right now...please give me more insight...anyone knows any cases like this before?

I think you should check if ur insurances cover flood or not... Because even though its a new car I dun think so they will cover for flood cases.. Correct me if i'm wrong

yeah i know...no cover for insurance....thats why headache now...my dads gonna spend a bomb...now still dunno wheter the engine can survive...

 

[Dino@Casper]

Like that i advice you too find a trustable mechanic outside to repair for u... n check if the engine is still intact.... because its really gonna cost u a bomb if u send 2 proton... very very big bomb

usually insurance wont cover damage caused by natural disaster, unless you pay a premium for it.

double check insurance policy, normally it will not cover act of god (bencana alam) which include damage caused by uprooted trees due to storm, or flood.

as modern generation cars have CAI just below bonnet..ur gen2 might have swallowed water inside the engine. if this is true, there is possibility the con rod had bent becoz engines are not designed to compressed H2O. i sure hope not in this case.

other than that, if by any chance water had slipped into where ECU is located then short circuit is what u will get. if not mistaken ECU for Waja and Gen2 is underneath the foorboard just in front and below the gearshift lever. the wire harness for engine compartment is designed to shield against water splash, even alternator but not starter motor. battery still may short circuit as well as the fuse box and its fuses and relays.

interior trims may be cleaned..but will leave a disturbing smell.

get a repair quotation from a franchise dealer and independent repairer. do not inform ur insurance first.

if too costly to repair, tow the car somewhere and burn it then claim insurance laa... heh heh heh...

but dont mention my name laa...if anybody ask whose idea.
