you know its not always the end of the road if you get water in your motor... i hydro locked my GTI twice. the first time i pulled the plugs, turned it over a few times (it shot water like a friggin fountain) then let it sit overnite. in the morning i put it all back together and it ran fine. the second time i just let it sit overnite and it ran fine the next day. did you at least try to get the water out first before you went and bought a diff motor?

Insurance is paying for the dealer to replace it, I believe.
