and this is why. If this is attributable to the water you will have a battle between yourself, the extneded warranty people and your insurance company. When my car was flooded with brackish water here (NYC)in '89, I was told that they totaled the car (brand new saab, 100% paid for) because latent damage could not be ruled out, and they did not want to keep paying for it. The diagnosis is still obscure in your post (i.e., exactly what went out to produce the noise and shut down). You need to juggle this between the warranty people and the insurance people and make clear to the mechanc who opens up the car that you need to know the cause.
Why is the extended warranty company not already involved in this? Seems to me they can't avoid paying unless either your oil rand out (sounds a bit like that) or there is proven water damage, which puts the insurance co on the hook.
