Why are some people not bothered about destroying their 50k car but don't want to get their shoes and socks wet.
they haven't realized yet
A 62 plate ain’t worth 50k
You can get one of those mercs for about 8k
@@julesmatthews2178 Agreed, more like £5,000!
Because they're female
I absolutely love how 90% of these total engine hydrolocks could have been avoided simply by driving slower through the big funny puddle
Or in reverse!
At least the vans and small lorries could have made it easily going slow.
or avoiding it entirely...
Stig... yep, those bow waves sure cause hydro probs.
Pure muppetry in action, eh ?!
incredible that those idiots even manage to destroy proper 4x4's
This is the largest amount of hydro-locked vehicles I've ever seen all at once. Well done!
All these engines change from fuel to steam engines. The funny one was the chap wringing out his air-filter.
You know lot of these were totaled out overhauling some of these engines would not be worth it. Sometimes I seen hydro-lock break a rod and goes though the block also.
I really enjoyed what that little red car did at the end, they came flying down the hill, shut the engine off BEFORE they hit the water, used their momentum to get most the way across the water and once they came to a complete stop and the wave of water stopped, they simply started the car and drove out, not even a little white smoke came out the tail pipe.
Stop start.😂
Toyotas are monsters, even the little ones..
I noticed the same. Very clever technique which I will remember.
Out of all the people driving through, the red Toyota was the only one who knew what they were doing. Amazing innit :D
Lucky there wasn't much water in the air filter on start up though. Yes, it wasn't being sucked in, but there was still likely a wake.

Replace that average by median, then it will be more accurate.
you know it
Convert your gasoline engine into a steam engine, cylinder full of water that is not compressible
The recovery and repair services round there must be making a fortune!
boutta say id be parked up there all day waiting for a easy tow lol
They are the ones who blocked the drain.
They are the ones recording the vid
@@11393nah they're not, they're just basicly tourists there, It's an attraction almost.
If so many people fall for it, it just means that it is badly designed but they won’t fix it because the town is making a fortune.
Love it how one of them opened the hood to look at the engine bay, like wringing out the air filter will save a hydrolocked engine...
i wish there would be more fords like this one because it is a fine natural selection for those drivers we don't want in the roads anyway.
This only eliminate their cars, not the drivers.
My sister crashed 3 cars in 1 year the insurance company said we won't insure you and didn't give her a check for the totaled vehicle. She didn't have the money to buy another car and she couldn't afford to pay for exorbitant high risk car insurance so she was forced to live without a car. She couldn't get the job she really wanted because she didn't have reliable transportation and was forced to take a lower paying job in a big city with public transit. I feel bad for her 10 years later she is still living paycheck to paycheck in the crappy job, she is still afraid to drive, she can only go where the bus/train goes and when she needs to move we have to step in and help her. We have tried giving her advice but she just gets mad/won't speak to us and we have come to the realization that she needs to want to change although it is hard to see her miserable. The point of all this is yes incidents like this can eliminate the driver.
Yeah, but we don't want them in our fords either polluting the river ways with oil and diesel. If I were to throw litter in public I'd be prosecuted but these numpties are dumping toxic and dangerous materials into our rivers..WTF!
Here in the US, we build bridges over rivers. We don't have to risk our cars or safety on publicly funded roads.
@@LePedant noboby HAS to go through the water. there is a road around the ford. just a 2 minute detour.
Loved the way that female Merc driver decided to compound the damage she'd done to the engine by standing on the bonnet rather than getting her feet wet.
It's likely a write-off anyway. Hubby won't be pleased...
Outstanding. 😊
Adding more to the damage report, for the insurance claim.
@@paulwilson7234 ....on the bonnet
It's totalled anyway
For those who don't know how to ford a situation like this:
a) Assess the depth of the water vs your air intake height, add snorkel if necessary.
b) Drive slowly into the water in first gear.
c) Do NOT accelerate past your own bow wave & keep the engine rpm high enough to keep water out of the exhaust pipe.
d) Exit the water slowly and allow water to drain away, keep the engine running to allow the spark plugs and leads to boil dry.
At a later date:
e) Strip the interior of the car and allow everything to dry or humidity and rust will set in. If you're planning on fording again, bin the interior.
f) Replace all the axle and differential oils, (unless you fitted fording pipes to the axle vents before you got wet).
you don't need a bow wave ! for most of the video the water was not even at bumper height ! just drive slowly
In other words don't ford. Gotcha
The neighborhood must love this in the rainy season......never a dull moment !!!! 😁😼😎
I love how that woman is "helping" to move that car by pushing on the door handles lol
☕️
I noticed that too. 😂
On what minute?
I like how so many think going faster makes getting through easier.
It's because they hope the speed will get them to the other side before failure, so that they don't get their feet wet.
If anything it splashes the water higher up so the air intake has a better chance of getting a big old gulp of river water.
They trying to aquaplane across it, probably work if they were going 70-80mph faster. 😂😂
@SpamMullet Someone going to activate the airbag they hit it so hard. That'd be a funny one.
If in doubt, FLAT OUT!!
Here is a classic example of human evolution going backwards!
Yesterday, I was sad when the carbon frame of the road bike I just repaired broke, but for some reason, watching this video makes me feel better.
If there is no-one locally who can assist/advise with mending a carbon-fibre bike frame then look for the local custom-car fraternity, who will have been playing with carbon fibre for years now. That is what we did when we need to repair carbon-fibre wheelchair frames.
Absolutely amazing how many people have no idea how to drive through deep water 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You'll need a screwdriver". Understatement of the year.
Lol
"you'll need a screwdriver" - and an engine rebuild.
A screw driver fixes everything don't you know, even fixes bent Rods 🤣🤣
That was gold haha
@@dronez7884 and whole electric wire/socket/termination rebuild down the road as well🤣
What made me smile was the van about 3 minutes in, with ' We Protect what matters' on the side. Obviously it does not apply to their vans ! 🤣
What an interesting hobby for all involved! 😂
Why do I find this so satisfying?
I've watched loads of these and I still can't get my head around why people take the risk with something as expensive and as inconvenient to lose as a car, particularly when there's a depth gauge right there. And why does no one think "Why are all these people taking videos of me?", as if that would be a clue that something bad is about to happen.
What even better is the other way is only a couple miles up the road past Maccies. It's literally a two minute drive.😂
Genuinely perplexed too. My mate introduced me to these videos a few years back and I'm still as confused today as I was then as to why people just drive into water.
Because for some reason this road with deep water is not locked off in any way, and I don't see any special warning signs either. So, no proper warnings, it seems, and they might not be able to judge the depth properly.
If there are warning signs I just didn't see, well then it's a different story.
But still, just close the road while it's almost guaranteed to drown cars...
@@tonyth9240 there will always been signs on the road approaching fords. all fords will have depth markers too which you can see on the bridge in some of the videos.
@@tonyth9240 there are "Ford" signs in both directions. What more do you need ?
And for some reason everyone opens the hood ...... After a hydro impact, you need to immediately open the wallet wider ))))
Squeezing the water out of the air filter should fix it
And cry.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mark2073 Dont forget to leave some rice in the airfilter housing overnight, should soak up all that water aye lmfao
nah just pul the plugs crank engine get water out and it will run fine like the AA man said in the video
Absolutely love it, how many people do not have any basic understanding how an engine works and that the totally destroyed the engine....
5.22 all them OOOOOOO'S at once was funny as🤣🤣
oh my god it's amazing. The woman burned the engine without hesitation, it was not enough, she climbed on the hood and damaged the hood. I guess you wouldn't have died if you rolled up your legs and went into the water. And on top of all this, he left his car there and left, also in the water and with the windows open while it was raining. This woman is really at a level that can be taken as a lesson for the history of humanity.
That was a clear case of Affluenza.
Она очень легко получила эту машину, вот и отношение соответствующее.
doesn't matter, car is writeoff.
and left the sunroof and windows open
Why would it matter? Car's done for. Needs a whole new engine, likely a lot more than the car's even worth.
The children’s laughter is a delight to hear. They’re having fun, enjoying the spectacle. The adult laughter is unforgiving. There’s a level of pleasure being experienced as a result of the self imposed misfortune of others. At what point do we loose our childish fun, and start to wish less for others?
Enough already with this philosophical nonsense. This is hilarious - whatever age you are.👀🧐😎😜😂👍
Thank you for sharing.
God, the “clonk” when that red Jeep-like thing locked up made me laugh much harder than I should have!
The repairshop around the corner: *stonks*
As a mechanic the sound of a cylinder full off water is oddly satisfying.....the rac man was very optimistic too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the same about the RAC guy, I guess he's no good at breaking bad news 😂😂
Take it to a garage! They can be the ones who tell him it will need more than a dry filter.
@@nigel2093 he has the right attitude, because they'll be upset even angry....
As a bus driver where people will spit in our faces, punch etc over a 5cent refund ticket that we can't give.....
Lol yea garage will dry your connector and give it a new filter just after they rinse ya of 5k for a new engine lol
so how much repair work is required here? a partial engine teardown? What sort of parts would likely need to be replaced and/or cleaned?
That sudden stop in the water. Welcome to hydrolocking!
hydrolock club
My En chin it stopah whata happena maamameea
Hydrolock sounds like a marvel movie
@@youtubeaccount7137 the cars often end up in the dead pool
I would like to see more of their reaction when they find out the will need an engine replacement.
No, they won't.
If they won't leave it with water to rust then they'll be fine.
@@markmd9 Do you happen to know what happens when a piston tries to compress water? 🤔
You can get a piston rod bend, and problems with valves.
In many cases it is easier to replace the engine, than disassembling the whole thing.
Because when a bent piston rod breaks... I think you know what happens then. 😑
@@markmd9 hydrolock. Rust is the smallest of their problems.
It takes a special kind of person to do something like this. They learned the quick way what hydro lock means
Love the RAC man playing it down. He knows what he's doing. Keep the customer calm and leave it to the garage to tell him the whole story 😆🙈
I thought that the RAC man was lying, you put it nicely. You should work for the BBC😂
The mechanics in this town are the world leaders on water damage to engines
They're all qualified boat mechanics.
I'm assuming you mean they're the world leaders in how to repair water damaged engines. Otherwise, your statement makes them the world leaders in causing such damage because they're in that town.
@@jb6712 150 other people understood what I said, I think that's a you problem 🤷♂
Thank you drivers for the comedy. Keep on motoring lads.
When I look at this………I realise why we have so many middle lane drivers in this country 😩
When I see the antics of drivers in my local supermarket car park, it does nothing for my confidence in them, to be competent enough to drive above 20 mph.
We should have more middle and inside lane drivers. We should adopt the US system and allow overtaking in any lane. Would lead to more efficient use of the motorways
@@Emiliocab47 Lane one is the only driving lane and all the other lanes are overtaking only lanes? Bit confused by your msg
@D2M5 Sensible use of all the available capacity...and might reduce the need for those so called smart motorways!
Plus most people are actually driving ar 70mph or more so there should really be any overtaking anyway
@@andrewholdaway813 It works well in the USA
We've recovered 3 vehicles from there and all have been refused repair by there insurance company .So beware you'll be paying for repairs yourself
Good!
Thanks, I was wondering about that.
Quite right too, the damage was avoidable, the depth is clearly shown, the idiots driving through should use some common sense.
Can work out expensive too if the car is on hire
@@christinebeynon9967 yes, because you are required to take reasonable care of the car you are hiring, driving through a clearly deep ford is not taking reasonable care.
Love the "Clunks" when the engines try to compress water. They can't make them or drive them.
this is just as good as the can opener bridge
The guys in the high clearance 4x4s that still insist on blasting through and then conking out are the worst. Just drive slow there Jeb, and you would be on your way.
Always remember:
If the water goes over the hood,
Then the engine is gone for good.
So simply, but so hard to remember.
Unless your an American with a brain and a snorkel. GG
@@ryshellso526 ...and the reading age of a 10 year old
It's "you're" (short for "you are"), not "your".
@@DS-uy6jw Germans sure did a number on you... do you still run and hide when you hear a doodlebug?
Not necessarily so. But highly likely, I suppose. Know where your intake is. If it's low down, yeah, don't bother. If it's high in the engine bay, a slow entry, bow wave, high revs - and if you can put a baffle in front of the radiator even better.
I've been in dinky 80s Mazda with four people in it fording fifty meters of flooded road, water combing over onto the windscreen, and it made it.
But yeah, I wouldn't want to bet on being able to make it through anything over 20 cm deep.
the red Toyota Yaris at the end got away with it.
they're got to be the best pirates i ever seen :D
That RAC man did his very best to tell the Merc driver what a tool he was, without saying you’re a tool. Legend!
This is like natural selection for drivers. Just gold.
That red Mini made it!!!😂
The bikes on the C-Max has me thinking they're on holiday, so probably a good distance from their home or their holiday accommodation and now no vehicle. What a way to end up.
1:10 anyone else hear them valves and conrods bending 😞
I thought that was the worst one, then the red 4x4 at 5:15 happened
@@gpk6458
Sounds hydro locken?
Greetings from germany
Like nails down a chalkboard......
not great, food might not be that fresh anymore
Was this the Mercedes Transporter or the black Family car?
Makes me want to move countries, come here, and start my own tow company in that area 😂
Open a garage next to it, you'll save the towing...
Ha, they always looking in the engine bay like they are going to fix those bent rods right there.
That sudden little jerk as the engine goes bang.
i used to haul cars out of our local floods, It never ceases to amaze me that people are surprised their car gets stuck.
The usual culprit is water through the air filter hydro-locking the engine often bending con-rods, sometimes blowing headgaskets and once even bending the crankshaft as well.
I will not even take my car through deep puddles as even 75mm of water can damage the brakes and only show up weeks later as a failed brake component.
Too many fools and their money are easily parted........
Great video.
4 mile detour or a 3 hour wait for recovery and the expense of sorting the car to be on camera 😂😂 priceless ...keep the vids coming mate 💪👍
It's not even that far - Google maps reckons 2.8 miles.
I was thinking it would be a massive detour if people are willing to risk killing their engines.
@@M.Audu435 think about how many people get irrational over being stopped by a red light. Wonders never cease.
Lmao.... 🤣 The way these people drive their nice new expensive cars through here you would think the detour to go round would be going across the Sahara desert wouldn't you!!
All they had to do was not splash through. Go slow.
A fine collection of ID Ten T's
Red Yaris Lady knows what time it is 👏
The woman in the little red Toyota near the end at 12:52 absolutely bossed it
It’s insane how fast some of these clowns hit it
Yeah, they think they will get stuck, which could happen too
i mean you do want to spend as little time as possible in the water especially if intake is low but you dont want to go fast you rip bumpers off and you simply dont want to do it if a ram air or forward air inlet
It’s insane they’re hitting it at all
"Oh, this looks like a lake. I'm sure I can drive through it."
I love how even the rigs which make it across end up pulling over into the "lane of shame" off to the side. That's because it takes a few seconds for the water to migrate from the air box through the throttle body and intake manifold into the cylinders where it will NOT compress and WILL bend a rod or two because...well, physics...
I'm actually surprised that more cars don't have some sort of water sensor failsafe that shuts off the engine in the worst case scenario to save the rods and rings
@@dwindeyer car makers never read Mark Twain's dissertation on common sense...
"Damn you, Physics!" [waving fist whilst perched on a car bonnet, mid-way]
Cannot compresss a liquid !
@@dwindeyer because 99% of vehicles will never have this happen?
I don't know why it is so addictive watching people drive through a river, but it really is addictive!
slow, steady, no rush!
That baby laughing though
I could absolutely sit here all day watching this 😂
I liked the white truck with the Bio-Hazard placard on it. That's how you get zombies.
If Tom ever does a Halloween special, that's how it should start.
Haha right
I licked the white truck with the Bio-Hazard placard on it. That’s how you get zombies.
@not today they already have 4 eyed blokes with cameras everywhere anything is possible
You need a kiosk with hot chocolate, coffee, and cookies; this is so entertaining! You also need to charge per "rescue" or the driver stays there. Put up a sign "For rescue call this number" then charge them!
From that classic Seeger tune "...when will they ever learn?"
“Stericycle - we protect what matters” 😂
I like how conveniently people are there to watch this happen like a show. What amazes me is how people don't know what water would do to a engine.
People are always there. It's like that 11foot 8 inch bridge. They set up about four permanent cameras to catch 'em all.
its obviously a day out for the locals and a good time for the millionaire towing services. The police must be getting a back hander not to close it as our local coppers close the road for a medium sized puddle
Bet the copper got his ear bent when he got back to the station .I love these videos watching these idiots turn their motors into multi thousand pound kettles 🙂
Holy crap, some of those are EPIC
Yall are brilliant.
'Stericycle, we protect what matters'. Shame it didn't extend to the vans engine 😂
🤣
I wonder if the containers got wet too. Stericycle contracts in medical waste disposal and relocation.
@@unwavering_sightseer7818 a bit of medical pollution in that stream will make no difference on top of the diesel, brake fluid, petrol, antifreeze, oil and radiator fluid it already sees every day.
@@ianhosier4042 I understand runoff. I was curious if the containers had gotten wet.
Took a day off work today to drive from Newcastle expecting to see some broken car action and found little more than a puddle! Gutted😂😂
Unlucky. I drove by the end of the road today and thought about going down to feature in a video but probably wouldn’t make the cut as I would have only crept through anyway!
yeah this video is old clips
Some of these chaps, like the one in the Stericycle truck, could have easily made it through if they'd gone slower. When you go fast, it just splashes the water up even higher and it covers everything in the engine compartment. Always creep through high water!
You get a new engine! You get a new engine! And you get a new engine!!! 😂
I bet local recovery firms rub their hands with glee when you get heavy rain there 😂
After watching close to 50 of these videos, I continue to be amazed that people attempt this given all that’s known about what a dumbass idea it is! Having said that, they are endlessly entertaining to watch.
The world is a big place. Believe it or not most idiots do not sit around watching videos and posting crappy comments of other idiots driving through fords.
Looking at the map it seems to me that this road is only used by local folks. And as this road is outside a village the viewers must be visiting this place on purpose, so they know when to expect the fails. So the drivers must be really bold.
This is comedy gold! "Stericycle. We protect what matters" Obviously not your 40k vehicle and now hydrolocked engine!
As the old intake takes a big drink of water and fills the combustion chamber, strange things happens when the old piston come back up trying to compress what cant be compressed. Hence the name Hydrolicked. That is just ONE thing that can happen.
When the water licks the engine.
In germany we call it Wasserschlag: Water Punch
I wonder if they would be so reckless if they knew their insurance companies wont pay!
Not after they have seen this video.
I was in the Army, assigned for a year in Hawaii. There was a spot near my base that would flood at high tide. If you think this water is bad for an engine, ocean water is WAY worse. I had vehicles I was responsible for, and my soldiers would drive the dang things through the water like these guys.
причем вода морская и пресная? Гидроудар виной всему. Тупоголовый 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really?
Nice
Yup, I knew a US Marine mech who said same, also said stupid is as stupid does , again.
hahahaha the smell of bent rods from hydro locking xD
The penultimate, red car had the right idea. Approach fast, turn the engine off before you hit the water, glide as far as you can and start the engine after the wake has settled. Nice.
Fascinating! Like the 11foot bridge in the States that claims the roofs of a lot of trucks in spite of all the signage.
sheep UK 2022 the gift that keeps on giving.
The AA guy at the end flat out lying to that guy 😂
The Audi Driver with the Bonnet open always makes me laugh
Audi driver being an Audi driver 😂😂
Pure chaos!
Audi drivers make me laugh bonnet up or down.
The way y'all say bonnet makes me laugh 😂. Not hating it's just hilarious. I'm sure "hood" sounds just as silly to you guys.
@@landontorppey It does. If we ever refer to the "hood" we're talking about the roof on a convertible. Hoods go over your head, you see. 🙂
That Stericycle van is carrying hazardous goods. Stupid taking it through there with that load. ( He has orange plates down saying he is carrying hazardous goods before someone asks)
Yup: "UN 3291, Clinical Waste (Bio Medical Waste or Regulated Medical Waste) "
Their stuff is in sealed thick plastic bags inside cardboard boxes so it won't leak out or get wet as the case may be.
I like that their motto is 'we protect what matters', everything except the company van
@@amato5232 He left the brakes off too. What a genius.
It was carrying agent Orange asbestos flavor in barrels painted with Chinese lead paint. All the fish in the Ford are dead now
That's a Major repair bill 😂
Never ceases to amaze the amount of idiocy that some drivers exhibit!!
I love how everyone is standing at the bridge watching the entertainment
Ooh, the way that Merc right at the start jerks to a halt. Expensive.
I'll bet the tow guy at 12:03 has that "talk" down to a script by now, but still makes it seem like a one off situation.
I'll give the Red Cross van 10/10 for commitment.
if only there was a sign that said road closed.... oh wait there is
And the ready-made audience is also a tell-tale sign.
you know you fucked up when an old disco has to pull you out.
😂😂😂Cool video! Thank you.
Whoever puts a cafe there you must get the best business during the rainy season
Gives the definition of 'engine braking' a whole new twist 🤣
“I love the sound of hydrolock in the morning” Great video, lots of “smart” drivers, a recipe for a fun time to watch! Thanks Tom.😂
Love these videos!
