Potentially Big Problems with my car as a result of a puddle last night...
While crusing the streets last night in a rain storm, I came accross a large puddle that had formed at the bottom of an overpass. I took it easy through the puddle but when I was in it, my car started to bog and cough. It stalled, rolled for a bit and now it will not start!
I removed my custom cold air extention a few months ago but still have the LLTek intake kit with S4 vented wheel liners on both sides. I think I took in some water through the intake! What do I do? How can I tell what has happened? I think I will replace my air box before I take it to Audi.
Any Ideas???

Well, either water got somewhere it shouldn't be and it'll eventually dry out...
in which case the car will start...someday, OR water got into the engine, in which case, the engine is fvcked. If you're using aftermarket intake kits...you need to be careful. Once water gets to the filter/cone, it can easily work it's way into the engine. With the stock airbox assembly, a little water can get pulled through the intake opening, but it won't readily work it's way into the engine.
