Hi,
I have a xylo which got stalled while wading through a water logged street. It seems that water has entered the engine and caused hydrostatic lock. Now, I have taken the car to the service center and they are saying the only option is to open the engine and the minimum expenditure is 65k INR. Just wanted to understand if there are any options before opening the engine. I mean if they open and see there are no mechanical damage, the only thing to do would be to release the locked water :noob alert:. Is there a way to release the water without opening the engine and gauge the damage? The service adviser says this is not possible.
If anybody has faced this before, can you explain how this was solved? Also is a insurance claim possible?
Regards.
P.S: Can any kind soul also put this query up in tbhp? I do not have a membership there. Thanks in advance.
