I'm waiting for my BS to come in in a couple weeks, in the meantime, IDK if this helps, but my current RAV4 went thru this when I went thru about 13-14 inches of water - engine died 1/2 way thru the giant puddle and had to be replaced with a similarly aged engine. The damn tail pipe on that Toyota is incredibly low to the ground. My insurance covered it, but there were a lot of issues w that replacement, especially where they didn't use OE like the coils - it took them almost 2 years to work out the kinks of the replacement engine et al. I suggest you insist on genuine Ford parts all the way through if insurance wants to repair it.Two options are being considered. Engine replacement or totaled.
UPDATED with photo and questions/answers:
Still to early to tell what the outcome will be. The tow truck operator checked the oil and showed me it was mixed with muddy water. The air filter was completely clean. Towed it to the dealership.
