Hi, I'm totally new to this site and these forums but I have had a shock to hear that my 2017 (67) qashqai tekna+ is in need of new engine, turbo and manifold. Drove fine one day then a couple of days later it wouldn't start. RAC called out and towed to garage to be told this news. I was asked if I'd driven through any large puddles as the air filter was full of water and water was now throughout the engine. I hadn't driven through anything I could remember. Has anyone else had this happen or can anyone offer an explanation? I will be unable to afford the repairs and the insurance may not cover it (yet to find out).

Very strange that, maybe someone on here can offer up a possible explanation.
