    BNS engine in "dry dock"

    Hey guys, I have a couple questions regarding leaving the car stationary for a longer period of time (~3 - 6 months).
    The reason why all this is because I had a traffic accident a while ago and even though the Police declared the other car to be at fault, the other driver decided to take the matter to court. So until the court issues are resolved the car will remain at the dealer waiting for the repairs.

    In specific I'm interested in preparing the motor. I will fog the cylinders with fogging oil - put directly in the cylinder via spark plug holes and turned over by hand.
    The engine at the moment is without any fluids. The water ran out because the right hand AUX radiator was crushed and the oil is out because the dealer had to remove the complete front end including the Oil cooler to make a complete damage estimate.

    My question is, should I fill the fluids back up to prevent any types of corrosion?

    I think fogging the entire engine should suffice.


    Why does the car have to wait for repairs. Just have your insurance company fix the car and deal with the court themselves.

    Slovenian insurance policies and law... it's complete rubbish.

    At the moment (when the responsibility is "undefined" - even though the police said who was at fault) I have the option of repairing the car at my own expense and then later on the insurance company (even though proven responsible to cover my costs) can still say that they will not pay as much, so it is better and safer that they receive the bill directly from Audi.

    Fubar.


    ps: by "fogging the complete engine", do you mean just the cylinders or anything else?
