sad to hear from a fellOw revo'er...

sir, as early as your revo had been submerged you should have started calling those shops to make reservations for service/restoration...as what most of the people here previously stated, reserve NOW for your car service either speedyfix or speedlab etc...or else start your DIY service

..do you know if your insurance cover AOG?...mine dont.

nga pala, they already said this..."REMOVE YOUR BATTERY"

goodluck sir...

If your car was sumbmerged in floods don't even attempt to start it. Call a towing company and bring it to your favorite CASA or repair shop para makita nila ang problem. Starting the engine might make it worse...

check your insurance if kasama flood or natural calamities...yung sa amin parang meron "act of God".

Honda Civic 99. Sa parking area ng Marikina City Hall inabot. At least no physical damage.

Bahay namin. Waist deep na yung sa may laundry area / dirty kitchen sa may likod, pataas siya so, nung umabot na sa loob ng bahay namin naging damp lang yung dining area, hindi umabot sa sala.

Car? Evacuated it early.

Sirs, a friend of mine had their petrol REVO submerged up to the wheel wells.

He's asking if he could attempt to start it up.

I'm not too familiar where the ECU of the revo is

Just seen one today a white TOYOTA EXSIOR wth full of mud and being tow . Sad to see this happen to fellow tsikoteers so next time this will happen secure your car to a higher place and dont wait for the flood .

It should be assessed by a mechanic and/or electrician first. It depends on how long it has been in the water and how high the water got inside the cabin.

Safest answer: NO.
