Hi Guys

Last nite i made a wrogn turn off of a Highway in NJ....long story short ended up in mud up to the door sills...stuck !! had to call roadside once they came 1.5 hours later, the tow got me out...to my discovery in the morning mud and debre such as rocks ...gravel etc all in my calipers scratched discs...calipers look like they were bitten off by a wolf or bear....very bad car is currently at dealer i dont know how much it will cost..im hoping my calipers are okay even though they will look like $h!* because of the chewed up ness from the rocks....PS wheels are totally scratchedd all around

 

ended up with "mud up to the door sills"??? that's a boat load of mud. where in NJ did this happen?

 

RT 9W Alpine
r u from NJ?

yea badd its at the dealer dnt knw whats gunna happen

 

dude, that sucks! sorry to hear this... hopefully the stealer won't be trying to make too much $$$ on you!

 

do you think ill need new calipers..i mean they are really beat like chunks taken out of them

 

It sounds like you'll need new ones

 

i'm no expert... but chunks taken out of them doesnt sound to good

 

very true...i saw them this morning i was like..gunna be a bad day maybe ill jsut say put the turbo calipers on them

how much you think for stock black ones?

how much for the turbos

 

if you want the turbos, you'll probably need new wheels

 

i have 2 sets of 20s lol

and right now nj we have 0 snow

knock on wood

 

what do you guys & girls think will happen at the dealer if there are chips taken out?

what do stock V6 brakes run with calipers

turbos?

 

I have gone through mud and stuff and gotten rocks and crap on my brakes. Makes a lot of noise until you can get it cleaned out. Last time off road, I broke on of the bleeder nipple on the brake caliper when debris got caught between the wheel and caliper. Also scratched up the surface of 2 wheels pretty bad. Luckily I have a paint gun and the correct wurth paint to touch them up and all it broke was the nipple on the caliper.

Also, on another offroad trip, it ended up costing me an engine for my V8 Treg after going through some water, in the Extra High suspension setting. It did not hydrolock, but had a lot of valve noise after. I drove it for 5K miles with no problems, just a bunch of noise then replaced the engine. The water came about 1/3 way up the door. Turns out the intakes for both the Treg and Cayenne are at the bottom of the airbox.

 

Isnt that an accident?? dont waste your insurance payment

claim everything..there you go , no CS?

 

yea i would hope but how would i put a claim like that to insurance...ps the dealer hasnt called me yet and my calipers look really bad all chewed up idk what to do ps rocks i mean 2 x 3 inch rocks in the wheels and between calipers VERY VERY VERY BADDDD MUDD AND CONSTRUCTION MUDD who knws if there was concrete in thr

 

If flooding is covered , mudding should be, need to take lots of pics..
and call your agent, i'll asked around too.. that sucks
