  Hi all,
  
  2 days ago i was driving on the road while it is rainng heavily. While I was driving, I never realise there is a very big puddle of water on the road so i jus drive past it and by the time i realise it, I heard a loud splash of water then i start to apply the brakes.
  
  nothing wrong with the car until today I wanted to start my engine but i realise that the engine gave out a very strange noise and I smelt some strange smell. Something like drain water smell plus a bit of burnt smell. I suspect the engine tio water that is why it is like that. My car is bought less than 1 yr and I understand that the car is covered under 3 yrs warranty.
  
  If this kind of case happen, Do you think I am still under warranty? Please advise..
  
  Another question. Anyone knows how much is the towing service for Cycle & Carriage? If we ask the C&C to help tow the car, anyone knows how much they will bill me? Or will they not bill us?
  
  Is there any towing service that will offer a better price than Cycle & Carriage?
  
  I don't dare to drive the car cos the engine like dying liao
  
  Thanks . SAd
  
  btw im driving a lancer FL model.

  if you never do anything to the car, then yes its still under warranty and you can bring it to C&C to check it out.
  
  at least your car can still run. my 7 yr old van, when drive past a puddle of water at high speed will almost immediately feel like stalling and start to die off press pedal and instead the engine sounds like choking, dies and difficult to restart... must wait for a while then can restart. Been lidat for 2 yrs plus and no one knows what's wrong with it went to every mechanic except dealer
  
  is it still giving out that burning smell? just drive to C&C lah.

  C & C always ask the owners change back to stock... dun bother... coz the 2 mods u did are nothing.
  
  Cable can be broken?? what you did to it. I only know of burning rubber of it, but break... never heard of it leh.
