Not having a motor screen extortion successful my insurance, the volvo work feline frightened maine with a repair complaint of whopping 1-1.5L for getting it running.

First clip its happened to me, and aft a fewer suggestions, I got to cognize a bully 3rd enactment repair store and got it fixed wrong a week. Turns out, h2o reached lone the substance injectors. Engine was harmless and sound. Still got a measure of 30k. BUT, immoderate electronics (NAV, Audio Mode, FM etc.) weren't working, specifically the sound. The work store didn't person an reply to this.

I had to spell backmost to the volvo work shop. Just for an inspection and cleaning of the wiring and electrical, they charged maine 20k. And present it turns retired that the audio module (or amp) is toast.

All electronics that aren't moving are electrically routed via the amp, and to get them working, they request to regenerate the amp.
Getting a caller 1 would outgo 1.2-1.3L.
A person suggests to get it checked from different 3rd party. I'm conscionable not definite there'd beryllium a caller amp lying astir for a volvo successful the market. I'm confused however to spell about. Looking astatine the pic, does it look the amp tin beryllium repaired?

From the picture, it looks similar immoderate components successful the PCBA are burnt out. I americium not definite what conception of Amplifier these parts are. Or what benignant of amplifier is utilized successful Volvo audio. If PCB itself has burnt out, it won't beryllium repairable. Apart from it, the Aluminum electrolytic capacitors (tall cans) tin person latent harm and tin enactment up later. They are a spot cheaper to replace. So if the committee is repairable, delight cheque to regenerate them arsenic well.

You tin sojourn the Team BHP audio conception and find a bully audio supplier successful your location. They tin measure the harm and you tin past instrumentality a decision.

I tin recognize you didn't person the "engine protect" security add-on screen for flood damage. But wouldn't your broad security argumentation screen flood harm to different components, including electronics? I was nether the content that it does.

Hi NarulaAJ, you person mentioned that your car was stationary erstwhile it got flooded. If this is the lawsuit your basal ain harm security should screen everything including the motor and different physics components. If you person a Zero Dep cover, past you'll not instrumentality the deed of depreciation also. Note that motor extortion screen is triggered oregon required lone successful lawsuit of "consequential damages" i.e. if you crank the motor successful a flooded car and determination is hydrostatic lock. You tin work the wordings of Engine Protect screen of your insurer connected their website.
The information that your car was stationary is pivotal successful this lawsuit and I suggest you escalate this lawsuit with the insurer keeping this constituent successful view.
Regards.

If the security thought suggested supra doesn?t enactment out, you could besides research sourcing the portion from the fashionable salvage markets successful Delhi (Mayapuri, Jama Masjid). Any bully mechanic who often deals successful repairs for German cars and imports should person plentifulness of contacts there.

Though yours is simply a uncommon model, you could beryllium successful luck, since the NGT rules would person sent respective moving cars to the junkyard.
