3laner:
Got stuck in a flood today and my snorkel or air box seal failed and now the engine is U/S. how much is it going to cost me to get it sorted, I cant do it myself because harvest starts soon.

spinkster:
i feel for you matey......i did mine 6 weeks ago and the costs are spiralling.....turbo 300quid...........wrecked crank.........400 quid just for parts.........your best bet might be trying to find a second hand engine

sorry its bad news

muddyjames:
sorry to hear this. I would try and find a 2nd hand engine myself.

Have you tried turning the engine over since you stopped? I expect you have but If not take the glow plugs out, stand back and turn the engine over. this wil blow all the water out and you maybe lucky and it wont do any further damage.

3laner:
engine sorted!took injectors off and glow plugs out and turned it over for about 2 hours untill all the water was out,drained the fuel out of the tank and put her all back together and she seems to be running fine,electrics are playing up due to her sitting in the water,will they dry out or do they all need to be replaced?

spinkster:
you lucky sod....i wish i'd been that lucky.....i am now trying to source a 200tdi engine!!!! the electrics should dry out on thier own i would imagine .....even quicker if you run the engine and get some heat generated!.......if you did hydraulically lock it i would advise changing the engine oil though.
