      For overpriced euro junk (Audi/BMW/Merc) is almost the perfect insurance scam. The write off is almost certain if it A) sits in water B) loses an unreliable and poorly engineered engine full of superfluous crap that has to be removed, pushing up the labour costs and writing it off.

    Take it slow, guys! It's surprising how many of the larger vehicles don't make it through simply because the drivers are going too fast. They have enough height clearance, but the excessive speed forces the water high enough to reach the intake

      Just spraying WD-40 on the distributor worked for a few days back when I had vehicles with mechanical ignition timing. Nowadays it’s all computer controlled. You still don’t want water to get into the intake or you’ll explode a cylinder or two.

    Damage is probably already done. Starter couldn't turn it over because it was hydrolocked and if it doesn't bend a rod when it sucked up the water and died they can get bent from the torque of the starter when trying to start it so all those attempts to restart were playing with...well water in this case. I worked in a shop and deen it quite a bit both from being flooded with water or some other liquid like fuel, coolant, or even oil after something else failed that resulted in filling the cylinder with liquid. If lucky you can just pull the plugs or injectors and rotate it over to get it out without bending a rod if the damage isn't already done.

    @henrent Před 3 měsíci

    IMO, the Ford at 9:57 had the best technique which is to go slow, keep the wave in front of you low and keep it from going to high and over the hood. This crossing is long enough so that momentum will not get you across as most people using momentum only got 3/4 of the way across. For a shorter crossing momentum might get you across but you will still have a higher risk of your motor ingesting the water. Unless you absolutely have to I do not recommend going across a water crossing like this as you may have some water penetration into all kinds of things like electrical connections, bearings, differentials (especially if the vent hose is low, cracked, or missing), the transmission, etc that you may not notice until you start having problems later. Most of the time these components may get splashes of water like driving in the rain but being submerged like this has much more likelihood of water penetration. A paper air filter will immediately stop air from going into the engine the moment it gets wet. Also if the water line is above the bottom of your door, your car's carpet will get wet with this dirty water and will forever smell like a stinky pond.

If you get unlucky it will get into the cylinders and lock the engine, potentially causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.

    Let’s make it clear. I hope this will save someone’s car in situation like this.
    First of all, it is okay to have your exhaust pipe go into water. More importantly is your engine air intake must be above water.
    1. Drive as slow as possible in deep water. Because if you go too fast, basically you are pushing the water even higher at your front bumper. And water will enter through the grid and to the air intake header.
    2. If you notice, the water is lower at the rear of car if you go after. So, if possible, backing up through water with some speed is even safer
