"dun fix.. just change the whole damn thing" attitude. in the end, took out the whole intake manifold .. a whole can WD40, and some rubber and plastic parts.. and back to normal.. still a 2 days work .. becos.. just the intact manifold and related components for the 3 litre turbo diesel is a challenge..i think AB just dun want to take chances but .. scaring the owner like this is really stupid..  mind you guys.. the position of the intact manifold of this car is no different than most japanese and korean car..  but the water sensor thing is the clever fail safe part that the bloody AB not being honest about. the german is way ahead of anyone interm of design... i have not seen E60, E90 or F30 actually hydrolocked.. water in intake.. car cannot start... quite a few..</blockquote>
