      it´s ok to drive into deep water but, your air intake must be higher than the water level or wave created. 90% of people would actually make it trough with regular cars and no modifications, they just need to drive extremely slowly in order no to create a wave.

    Hi Tom, every time I buy another car one of the first things I do is lift the bonnet to see where the air intake actually is, the first time I found one where the inlet pipe is situated right down at the front of the engine I was quite shocked!, of course even the ones with it sited near the top of the radiator are still at risk from that sort of high wave, some people have wonderful brand new unused brains that have never been connected to the real world!.
    Cheers, Richard.

    • @ianhosier4042
      @ianhosier4042 Před rokem +2

      Surely it's a simple matter to take a bit of A/C hose and extend the air intake up into the passenger compartment? That way you'll be getting soaked before you have to worry about breaking your motor.

    • @HRS8509
      @HRS8509 Před rokem +14

      In Germany nobody cares where the air intake of his road car is because there are no flooded roads. You just don't come into situations with deep water. Maybe thats the reason why especially cars from Germany and also France have these problems.

      @@ianhosier4042 Hi Ian, thank you, what a good idea!, it reminds me of many other sensible suggestion to make the driving experience more 'real', one of the best was the installation of a nine inch titanium spike in the centre of the steering wheel to make the driver more careful.
      My current favourite is for all new cars to be fitted with effective tracking devices that enforce compliance with speed limits, I would like to see a system that is able to calculate average speeds and where a significant period of travel below the limit a certain amount of excess speed could be allowed when the road is clear!.
      The other one is a simple reaction speed test at the beginning of all journeys that assess the driver's competence and limits speeds accordingly.
      Cheers, Richard.

    Hi Tom, nice instructive video. I would like to give advice to guys who drive German Mercedes or BMW cars. When you drive through deep puddles or streams, don't drive at high speed, drive very slowly. Because on many German cars the air intake system is located very low. You don't have to be heroic in front of the camera :)

    • @pjmccracken
      @pjmccracken Před rokem +2

      Yes, it is designed that way to get cool air induction, years ago they just had pancake air filters which drew in warm air from the engine bay, less performance but more resilient to water intake. Like you say only option is drive VERY slowly and no deeper than about 2 foot max.

Wading techniques exist for good reason. It's also so the force of water doesn't push past bearing seals and flush out grease and also to protect any electrical connectors etc...

      They didn’t intention to stop car in water. But all guys who stop its cause of engine totally died because of water go into engine. I watched many clips about car drive passed water flood. Its let me know something. First Driving pass it with high speed gave more the risk to destroy your engine. And Second if water splash up over your bonnet more than 95% can destroyed your car.

      I agree. There are similar places around where I live that occasionally have high water to drive through and I have never once seen a car suck water into their intake. You just drive slow and all is well.

    These idiots never fail to amaze me. It's one very large problem to hydro lock a modern engine ,but also on some of these vids they are flooding out the inside of the car which often results in it being a write off these days anyway. If I were the insurance companies, I would be watching these videos for obvious reasons.

    how the hell did the mazda and the two volvos die of that?! yes they weren't exactly slow but given how air intakes aren't under the car but rather under the bonnet they should be perfectly fine... and then the blue volvo, which had water coming over the bonnet is perfectly fine other than the piece of plastic down below? I'm so confused.
    genuinely don't get it... seriously, the blue nissan as well? how?

  • @rp9674
    @rp9674 Před rokem +9

    The trick is to get the water into the intake then the combustion chamber for the pistons to compress it.
    I'm surprised how many commenters focus on the intake location, my approach would be not drive through the deep water.
    It would be interesting to see how EVs fair. My prediction is they would do better.

    It's amazing how so many drivers are unaware of the height of their engine air intake. I fish a lot on a river that often floods dips in the nearby roads and under a small railway bridge in particular, but I know exactly how deep I can go, and have a makeshift 'snorkel' atrachmen in case the bridge area gets too deep.
    However, looking at this, it doesn' t actually look too deep? The mazda passing through showed the depth to be maybe just above the centre of the wheels. My old B class mercedes can go through up to the height of the wheel.....unlike the slighty newer B class at 2:43 that comes to grief in this video!
