Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Saab 9-5 6 cyl Automatic 101000 miles
Hi Guys,
My wife drove through large puddle today on the highway under an underpass which was fairly deep (she didn't realize it until it was too late). The water seemed to have gotten into the engine b/c the car shut down and the water started to seep into the car from the front. I think the water came in through the filter (puddle not THAT deep) due to heavy rainfall and Sabb's positioning of the air filters behind the fog lights (found that out online). What are my options? Do I have to replace the engine? I am waiting for Geico to give me an estimate, but I am worried about them just totaling it and giving me a check?
Thank you
