Just cause its covered by insurance doesn't mean you get free reign of where and how it is fixed, even in a fully private insurance system. |

Never knew it was covered under ICBC, I hydrolocked my 3G TL on Marine Drive few years back. It's lowered with a CAI, plus it's supercharged so it probably made it a lot worse. Just ended up swapping in a 3.5L motor instead. |
I always thought the CAI will void coverage for engine failure because it is his fault for modifying an intake to have an increased % to suck in water? |
ICBC will probably bring that up and the fact that it's a lowered car making it more susceptible. If you lose your case and icbc says it's your fault I don't recommend going through a dealership to do your swap... I don't even want to begin to know what that would cost. |
That ICBC adjuster actually called me, here at Acura I tried to discuss with him that our labor rate is $120 per hour here. Unfortunately with claims I cannot readjust the labor rates. The adjuster was firm with only paying $55-$90 per hour with different parts of the repair. I would've loved to help you and of course its buisness on our end for sure but ICBC was very firm on only paying us the rates mentioned. |

You keep saying that this is not your fault. I'm guessing there is more behind the story than "driving through a huge puddle" that we are all assuming. Mind sharing? |

He said he drove through the "lake" (puddle) on canada way.... which I would go ahead and say i was his fault then because he chose to put the CAI on, and without it this wouldn't have happened...... |

Thanks everyone. I found a place and that was what this thread was about. Thanks for all the help. |
Best of luck with your repair, hope everything goes smoothly. Look forward to meeting you at Burrard Acura soon :) |

i call BS, it always depends on the accident. A newer model acura that has had an engine swap because of hydro locking? That's not going to stop me from buying it. All I got to do is take it to a shop and get them to give me the OK for it being mechanically sound and I'd take it. |
