NEED ADVISE: Vehicle/Engine submerged in flood water [MERGED]

[sharky]

My Toyota vios 1.5G submerged in flood waters. I called up Toyota Marikina but the casa was submerged too. I called toyota QA, Cubao, & Otis but all casas are fully booked w vehicles having the same problem. However, a service advisor gave me a rough estimate of the casa charge w/c is as follows:
washing PhP 4000.00
detailing 4000.00
computer box (if damaged) 30000.00 (approx)
oil/filters/flushing compound 2500.00 labor 5000.00
misc. XXXXXXXXXXX
TOTAL (APPROX) Php 45000.00 ++

I was refered by my car sales agent to a former collegue who manages a motorshop in Cubao (Neocars) & my vehicle is now ready for pick-up. My bill is PhP 11500.00. My Vios' computer box was not damaged. However, an Innova was not as fortunate, their bill is PhP20000.00 as their computer box was affected & repaired too. FYI

miroKC, may number ka ba ng neocars?na re-repair ba nila computer box?
Thanks!

bro, saan 'yang neocars? gusto din dalhin sa ibang repair shop kotse ko city 1.5e 09. void na din naman warranty eh. hindi na ako makapila sa mga casa. buti 'yung 08 civic ko naipila ko na sa honda caloocan kaso mukhang matatagalan pa bago matapos. kailangan ko talaga agad ng kotse para sa negosyo eh. thanks.

masakit sa bulsa ang magpaaayos ng flooded car.. nakakabadtrip kc ndi ko nadiskonek yung baterya ng Honda Jazz 2005 nung lumalim na yung baha.. natakot na akong lapitan eh.. umilaw yung mga signal light nung pinasok na ng tubig yung oto ko.. Sana ndi naman umabot ng mahigit sa 100K yung gastos sa pagpaayos.. Sana makaapekto yung sinabing "discounts" sa parts, lubricants at labor para bumaba man lang yung repair costs sa mga Honda repair centers..

sa mga nasubmerge and kotse wag masiraan ng loob aandar rin ang mga kotse natin. ung saakin lumobog pero di ako nasiraan ng loob umaandar na sia ngayon.

follow nyo mga steps na andito na sa board. kasi medjo mahirap na pumila ngayon sa casa or sa mga talyer. ako na lang ang gumawa ng kotse especially ung pagtangal ng mga seats kasi magagamoy lalo. ngayon naaraw maganda magpatuyo ng mga upuan at carpets.

for the engine wag paandarin muna hanggat di napapalitan ng engine oil, di napapatuyo ang ECU.

total expense ko wala pa 5000 pesos umaandar na ung kotse. ( un nga lang 1 upuan lang gamit ko. eto lang ang meron sa loob ng kotse ngayon.

Sir ano sasakyan niyo and natanggal nyo ba yung battery before ma-submerged? Pareho kase kame ni Metalhead na hindi natanggal agad yung battery.

Last Friday night, napa-tow ko yung kotse ko via the free towing incentive ng Standard Insurance. Sobrang followup ang ginawa ko para makuha at madala sa casa yung kotse. Nirequest ko sana sa Honda Quezon Ave ko ipapaayos yung Honda Jazz 2005 kaso dahil sa haba ng pila, pumayag na akong ipaayos sa Nissan North Edsa kc nag-aayos din sila ng Honda.

Oks lang ba na ipaayos ko dun? Sabi ng service advisor ko, nililinis na nila yung loob at tinatanggal na yung mga fluids. Umaabot na daw ng 15k yung costs dun palang Hindi pa nila nacheck yung makina at electric parts para ma-save nila It will depend on me if they shall proceed with fixing my car based on their findings.

For those who send e-mails to me regarding Neocars' number, sorry I forgot to mention it. anyway, you may call them at 7000728. you may compare their towing price as well. When i had my vios towed, there is a scarcity of tow trucks & the average rate was P 4T from Marikina to QC. I got it at P2.5T from them. I just dont know if they can still accomodate units since when i pulled out mine, they were filled with units. Hope this info helps.

mga sir,

Good day

My car is a civic vti 96 model,it was submerged (not entirely) ,pero napasok siya atleast sa seat level,medyo lubog ang pedals,now..

the ECU was wet half of it and was dried,all the components were checked and all upholsteries were removed strip down the interior and was dried for 1 week(luckily sun shined for 2 days) then the time come that i started the car ,umandar naman,kaya lang my CEL light okei naman lahat walang pinagbago makina,my maingay nga lang sa alternator part..now my problem is ano kaya yung problem pag CEL,pero okei takbo niya,ano po dapat pacheck dito mga sir..Thank you and God Bless

[zantets]

CEL means CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. kahit kamo walang pagbabago sa makina, im sure may problem related sa engine yan kaya nga nakailaw ang CEL. Better dalin mo na sa CASA to pull the codes.
If you want to keep the car for a long time, pakatay mo na yung makina at tranny para matanggal mga namumuong kalawang, Tulad nga ng nasabi ko it will never be the same again lalot inabot ng tubig ang makina, Imagine parang sa sandpaper kumakayod mga pistons at other moving parts inside the engine due to rust. Fast wear and tear yan.

[kudil]

Good day mga sir,

Ang dilemma ngyon is how can I make sure that the second hand car I'm trying to buy was not submerged in water? Are there specific car parts I have 2 check to find out if it was submerged?

Please help. thanks!

[sirkosero]

tag ulan na naman! buhay ulit itong thread! hehe

September na naman at tag-ulan parin... wag naman sana maulit ung 2009... -__-

hello sirs,

gusto ko lang magtanong regarding our situation.

nabaha kasi ni pedring yung hyundai getz (MT) namin sa probinsya. pinasok daw ng tubig sa parking. hanggang upuan o lagpas ng tires inabot. almost two days rin yun nababad sa baha.

nung nagsubside na yung tubig. pina-tow ng dad ko sa casa yung sasakyan. we waited for almost 3 weeks for the insurance to have the papers settled then saka lang nirepair. two days lang yata tapos na yung car at pinauwi na ng casa kay daddy. inabot lang daw ng 20k mahigit yung bill then yung participation fee na 2.5k.

hindi pa kasi ako nakakabalik sa province to check the car pero ang sabi ni daddy pina-change lahat ng fluids at binaklas yung mga nabasa at pina-tuyo. yun pa lang nakukuha kong info. maayos naman daw yung test drive nila kaya parang ok na rin sa father ko.

ang questions ko lang is:
possible ba na hindi ganon kalaki yung damage nung baha sa amin? sobrang nagworry kasi ako na nabaha at nag-antay ng matagal yung kotse bago narepair eh. nagwoworry rin ako na baka may mga hindi pa sila nacheck dahil ang baba ng bill.

also, is there such a repair "warranty" claim if may mga additional problems na lumabas after ng ilang araw?

salamat po sa mga magrereply.

[sirkosero]

interior detailing lang siguro ginawa dyan...

[SiRbossR]

Sir, until the seat lang naman ung water diba? Don't worry too much about it. Ondoy victim vehicles had worse situation than yours but heck they still ran like brand new after repairs.

[akosijepoii]

Sir tanung ko lang din may mga montero owners din po ba dito na naapektuhan ng baha? after flood and repairs may lumabas pbang issue?coz mine nakabili ng 2nd hand but accidentaly flooded pala ang linis kse pag kakagawa after ko lang palinis yung aircon ko sa aircon shop ska ko lang nalaman...pero so far wala naman prob all working all instrumental ok lahat smooth shifting...
