Re: 2002 Sonata VE.. Possible Water Damage.
 

Well I looked at it when it was warm enough finnaly. The good news
the filter was dry as a bone, flexed perfectly. Bad news is at the
bottom of the box theirs abit of frozen water.

I looked at the oil dip stick. Oil seemed fine no signs of frozen
water on it.

I'll see if its worth to get it looked at. Just bought it 2 weeks
ago and the garrantee still applies.

Most warrantees don't cover abuse. Driving at high speed through deep
water is clearly abuse.

The warranty isn't going to cover anything if there's water in the air box.
That would be an owner issue. If you've got ice or water (if it melted) in
the bottom of the box, then remove it. If you're at all concerned that
water got into the oil, then change the oil and filter. No big deal. If
there were enough water in the oil to worry about though, you'd see it on
the dip stick. No bubbles? Nice clean looking oil?

Oil looked nice and cleaned off the dip stick. The water I can get
out myself. I'm just fortunate i was driving through those pools of
water nice and slow. I had an idiot in the next lane that went
through it estimating 60 KPH.

My friend who drives an 90 Acura got his altenator fried on one.

Friday was probably the worst weather we had in awhile. 60 car
pileup near montreal.

It would lend a *huge* amount of context to your replies if you'd include
the text you're responding to. In this case it was easy enough to figure
out what you're responding to but too often it's not.
