If the engine ingested water the warranty does not apply.....that is not a defect....it is a failure caused by bad judgement.
Open the airbox and see if it is full of water......if it is relatively dry, but shows sighns of water entrance, replace the air filter.
If a dry type air filter gets wet, the pores close and it prevents airflow.
In the case of a diesel, this will cause the engine to pull oil through its breathers and burn it, causing much smoke.
A restricted filter will also prevent the engine from revving up.
Try a filter.....if it works out, stay out of deep water.....just cause other cars made it through is not a sign that you can too.
Good luck,
Rob
