Re: Ford Figo TDCi : Starter motor cap blowout You really need to get someone at the top involved since this has been pending for quite some time now. Hope you have the Job Card with you proving that the car was taken in on a particular date with such and such symptom/complaint.
Call their customer care number and register a complaint. Also Write a letter to ford higher ups and ask for them to intervene and solve your issue at the earliest. Post this issue on Ford Figo page on facebook. [My experience is that they take it seriously]
From what you say it does not seem possible that water could enter the engine. I really dont think Water can enter the engine and go to the starter motor without causing severe damage to the engine components.
Edit:
Do confirm if your brother tried to start the car after the incident. Did he keep cranking for very long period. Probably that could have caused the starter motor to go bad. In what ever case the first thing they should do is replace the motor and try cranking. Even if things are as they say i dont understand what more could go wrong by trying this.
It might even just be the starter motor frying causing a fuse to go bust. I seriously think the logic should be replace motor, check fuse, try start and then move into further diagnosis / opening up parts.
I really dont understand why they want it to be treated as a water logging when they see a fried starter motor.
Hope things are sorted out without much of emotional/economic pain.
