Me in all my infinate wisdom decided to take my car through a puddle to deep for it (1 1/2 - 2 ft deep). long story short, it stalled in the puddle and I pushed it out. I tried to turn it over after I pushed it out and the engine exploded. (looks like a piston rod went. 2 pucture holes in rear of engine) I get all the routine maintanance done at the same place which has a record of it as well. My insurance is trying to tell me its probably from lack of maintanace/ wear and tear/ coincidence and not to do with water. So in short, can water cause an engine to explode?

When this happens something has to give and in this case a piston connecting rod was the weak point, broke and came out the side of the engine block.

Engine can't compress a liquid as said. Who is responsible for that is up to you and your insurance. IMO - don't ever drive thru water over the center of a wheel and even then AYOR. Cars aren't made to take water and it wrecks tons of things that may show up later, T rmelcher New User Sep 11, 2009, 5:10 AM Post #4 of 4 (1469 views) Re: infinate wisdom Sign In Thank you Dan and Tom, I hit the puddle during the heavy rain storm and I have comprehensive coverage. It should fall under it but then again I am dealing with an insurance company, Thanks again   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
