I was driving through a puddle of water like evry other car.It was raining a lot as well.The car started to make a funny noise and I took it in.they said that there was water in the engine.How could that have happened?As I said it wasnt a big puddle,none of the other cars were damaged.Is this because of the airintake that is situated next to the wheel?Please explain to me as this is a company car and I must go to a hearing for negligence on Monday.It could lose my job and according to me I couldnt have prevented the water from going into the engine.The car went for a major service a week before.Is it posibble that they didnt put something back the way it should be

Can you describe the noise it makes? As far as water in the engine, unless the water was above the engine, I find that hard to believe. Let me know.

It sounded just like a car that is going to hit bearings.And no, the water didnt came over the bonnet so I still dont know what happened.As I said there were cars in front of me as well and nothing happened to them.

Do you hear the sound when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running or is it only when the vehicle is moving?
