Hey boys have a prob with my VCM OTR SSV due to the flooding in melb water has entered my otr and in the engine car stalled and didnt start i was going slowly but cars coming the opposite way were spraying a huge amounts of water on my car was very suprised this happend but got it towed home and there was water in my CAI :ranting:
Was wondering insurance will cover me but i need to put my stock airbox in. Now the radiator with the vcm has been slightly pushed back to allow the otr 2 sit nicely i have the 2 rubber pieces that were originally supporting the radiator is it as simply as unscrewing the top 2 screws and pushing the raditor forward and then putting the 2 original rubbers on top of the radiator or more intense.
Thx Mary

Sorry if its vague but ppl with VCM OTR will understand

You should be able to just undo the screws and put the radiator back to its original position.

I went through some pretty deep water today as well, through Officer and Pakenham. Luckily my VCM OTR didn't suck any water in.

Hopefully the damage isn't too bad. Like wikky said it's a simple job putting the radiator back to it's original position.

Your insurance will cover mechanical damage?

I didnt think they paid for things like that. Could be wrong though.
