You know what really makes these videos great? No music, no commentary, just the crowds cheering! Love it.
Yes, the minimalistic editing is a godsend.
Yea. I also admire these brave ducks hanging around... ;)
I’m hip!!!! And countless stunned humans
Ye i think the same 😎👍🏻
Here I am thinking it’s all the water locked engines that made this video great
Imagine approaching that ford, seeing a number of cars broken down the other side, a depth gauge telling you it's 2ft deep AND a load of people spectating/filming you go through. Then you floor it and write off thousands of quids worth of car. Absolutely genius!

Honestly, it just blows my mind how thick the majority of drivers seem to be. I'm driving a vehicle with an engine that needs to breathe air to run, so I'll not not only drive into this deep water but I'll do it while trying to ram as much water into the air intake as possible!
It's not just the engine... That BMW opening the door... It could have damaged some of the cars electrics as well.
Have to agree, it beggars belief.
It amazes me too, is there no signs informing drivers to drive slowly through it?
@@elmo319 or not to drive through at all...
@@AL-td8ol - indeed! Although it is a passing Ford so no reason not too, just slowly so no bow is formed and water doesn’t go in the air intake.
In the event that water gets sucked into an engine, it is advisable not to attempt to restart it immediately. Instead, remove the spark plugs and then restart the engine. This will allow the water to be expelled through the spark plug holes, preventing hydro-locking of the engine and avoiding damage to its components, if not already sustained during the initial water ingestion.
The engine still alive however the sparkplug and the battery..
@@potatopizzacar3318 wait thoough i was with you for a second..BUT with no spark plugs, but youre still connected to the battery, would the engine still turn over? like do the rrurr ruurr ruuur rruuurr, cycling the engine without starting it? cuz then if its cycling, the pistons are still shooting the water out?
@@karsonhutler9923 yep
@@karsonhutler9923 without a battery, sparkplugs is useless

4:38 that woman was smart enough to slow down when she saw water was above the hood unlike other guys who kept their throttle pinned
Actually not sure what's worse. The faster you're through the less water reaches stuff
@@marcokoehler5020 people in this video thinks the same as you
聪明人就不会在那开车！
The smart one is the one at the end
@marcokoehler5020 no it's not smart to drive fast. Your logic of less water "reaching stuff" doesn't make since. The slower you go, the more likely you won't get water through your intake. What's hilarious is what people don't realize is that if they drove through backwards. No problem at all.
The guy in the Landcruiser had a snorkel and was still smart enough to enter the water SLOWLY 🤣
the only one with that knowledge...
the snorkel shows he has experience in water crossings and off roading. i highly doubt you have a snorkel on your car? because it not normal, only for the off road enthusiast
Совершенно верно! Потому, что знает, чем это опасно. Многим другим предстоит дорогой ремонт двигателя
@@deficator750 landcruiser would also have extended diff gear box and transfer case breathers

If there is a “puddle” with 50 people standing in the rain recording, that might be a clue to find a different route…
Or just go slow and don’t destroy the car
if its any consolation, there are probably a lot of people who do this, its just that there's no reason to upload those parts to youtube
@@krabbe969 i was thinking that too, but it looks hard. i thought that grey kia was going the right speed but he sucked in water too.

It's nice of them to build a lovely pedestrian bridge. Cars? No, sorry.
This should be a sporting event. This is insane. 😂😂
The sound of piston's trying to compress water 😂
More like the sound of valves being turned into pretzels.
@@Trialnerror not only the valves... the pistonrods and the crankshaft bearings should be dead too XD
I'm thinking the best thing to do is pull the spark plugs out a petrol or glow plugs / injectors out a diesel whatevers easier then crank the engine over until it sprays all the water back out without compressing it. Definitely don't park the car using the starter motor in gear or even try to restart the engine. Will insurance or warranty even cover those fools or are they about to get shafted by the stealership! Love how the Tesla ate that for breakfast. Everyone goes too fast! Need to crawl through it instead. Air intake is behind the grill unless the range rovers take in from back of bonnet. And especially those with a snorkel can get the camera crew wet of the wanted
@@E69apeTheMatrix420 That spark/glow plug trick only works if the engine survives the initial water intake. Most probably would but some would't
@@potatojake197 100% agree. Most the Japanese / German stuff would be fine if they left it alone after the initial stall out. If they just crawled through in 1st gear most cars would make it. I really want to try my VW Phaeton but I live miles away. 🤣
Let’s be honest, we all come here for the fails.
And it didn`t disappoint today!
Of course we do😈
And stupidity
I want to see someone throw a rod right through the hood!
Surprised how well the tesla did 👏
Last one has brains 😂
1- if possible- avoid driving through water
2- if you do it, do it slowly
3- make sure the water isn't deeper than what your car can cross
4- at least I'd try to turn the engine off and push the car through. Then wait a few minutes so the water can flow out and then try to start it.
I'm telling you now water is not dripping out once it gets into your intake or in your engine
what about going in backwards? see this work as a gem one time,
Create a bow wave drive slow don't let go of the pedal
Thanks dad!
5- try not to drive off of any cliffs
I enjoy how the number of spectators seems to be growing. This is also the water equivalent of the 11’8” bridge.
That comparison killed me but I think this is even more silly
While we're at it, I just want to say that i miss those nice Drumbeats.
Yep, we know. This is said under every single one of these videos.
As I noticed there was a whole Gallery in the background watching
And not a stobart in sight
The stupidity of people plowing into deep water in their pride and joys with no clue of the potential damage is amazing!
And you happen to know everything about everything. Captain Stupid.

Money can't buy common sense
@@exever_ If you are driving a car then you should know a lot of simple things about cars, how it is working and why you shouldn't charge a flood that deep in a road car. There are two ways of learning, first one is just getting your knowledge about cars from books, manuals, internet or just asking someone who knows and second way is just by being clueless moron who fullsends his car into water and getting a nice chance to spend a lot of money.
And the stupidity of people where watching/filming and not warning is it too, just 10 times more bad.
The Tesla pissed through that !! Fair play
80 series absolutely nailed it. Brilliant.

0:40 Tesla crossing badass the river
Pussy would have made it easily
But he has VW amarok . He easly goes staith the river
@@adammaysz9356 The water level was very high, if it reached the height of the headlights the Amarok would suffer the same as the other cars. Also, it is preferable to waste a few minutes looking for another way than try to cross the small river and suffer a breakdown of several thousand dollars.
If it had an extended air intake like the Rally trucks do, it would be able to get over the river with no problem, but that's something this truck doesn't have.
I had never expected that Tesla to make it. I found something positive about an electric car 😄
Give it a bit for the corrosion to set in
Water isn't good on any vehicle components, but yes, EVs generally do better because no engine trying to suck air to work:)
Snorkel Jeep driver had flawless form. Real satisfying to watch.
I would think that all the people standing with cameras waiting for you to drive through was a good indication to turn around.
Facts
haha
You would think so but most of those drivers obviously haven’t been fully baked. They are far from being the sharpest tools in the drawer.
Drive slooowly no problems...
You'd think with all these videos on CZcams they'd think to avoid driving through
For those who are wondering what the knocking noise is when they break down and try to restart,it’s water in the engine cylinders.
Basically a new engine.
It's just not worth the risk unless you've got a snorkel to keep the water out of the air intake.
Also doesn’t help them going so fast forcing water into the intake
Water does not compress in an engine so it breaks everything, rods, Pistons. That's 100% failure. I watched a guy try to seafoam his car in an AutoZone parking lot same thing happened hydrolock.
It’s not water in the engine, it’s the RESULT of water in the engine. The knocking sound is their newly bent connecting rods, which are now hitting their block with every revolution.
@@hakimmohamad6216 yes. We all know. I think you misunderstood my comment.

@@tristan.8221ok gasshole
this reminds me of the low bridge trucks run into........loved that and I love this........
As someone who does routine maintenance and repairs on my own cars. Its easy to forget that most people don’t and don’t have a clue how their vehicle operates. The just put gas in it and go. Everything else is just magic.
Yeah I'm surprised no one tryed going through backwards, I saw someone do that on a road before
I was guilty of that because most cars I had was fairly new or brand new. All I was concerned about was putting gas in it therefore I knew nothing about mechanical issues. Today I've learned so much with my old BMW that's 21 years old with all kinds of issues I'm slowly learning and figuring out. It's been challenging and an experience.
the tesla did it
I know. It was brutal watching all those folks hydrolocking their vehicles one after another.
Exactly. Not at all would I submerge a vehicle into water like this. All the electronic damage they will have in the future is their doing. I bet insurance companies would love to see these videos.
"I'm sorry sir but your claim cannot be approved, your policy doesn't cover stupid"
It’s amazing that the crowds of locals with cameras out don’t make people stop and think “This may be a bad idea…”.
Exactly
They deserve to have they car flooded, hydrolocked, especially that guy on the jeep hauling the vehicles. Why dont he stay on the other side of the water, warning the drivers?
@@fodaogamer1 people also need to have a little common sense and think for themselves.

The defender is doing a great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
At least it's made for off-road (kind of?)
local mechanics and tow companies must’ve made a killing off this road.
I think we can all agree, the Amarok at the end made the right decision.
What compels people to, highly likely, ruin their engine by driving through water without a snorkel is beyond me.
Er Facebook and a proximity to London ??
The Amaroks air intake is very low , I tried a similar crossing but didn't make it.
Very poor design for an off road vehicle
He was Chicken shit
I have a Ford Ranger and I can do 3 Feet without Water getting into the Air Intake
The VW is a poor off road vehicle !
Few observations: The Landcruiser was the only vehicle that did a textbook water entry, electric vehicles are bloody good in deep fording situations and with the value of the cars written off at this ford, they could have built a bridge to rival the Golden Gate!
Yeah but no content then! I’ll destroy any bridge!
it appears the LC was the only one that handles it appropriately...
Screw that, full send right into it!!!
the Grand Cherokee did perfect
@@Jonathan11225 No it did not. Sped through and survived on luck. Intake for jeeps is forward facing and at the top of the bonnet, driver is lucky his jeep didn't vacuum up some water and blow the engine. Slow entry and steady through to create a small bow wake and keep water levels down in the engine bay just as the modified off road SUV did it, despite having a raised air intake.
You have to laugh, I’m really sorry 😂there is a depth sign on one of the walls!
Love watching though lol 😅
I love how there’s just a crowd of people watching to see who makes it or not, I’d take a front row seat 😂 I’ll make some popcorn!
It’s one of the best spectators sports going 😂
7:50 one of the few smart drivers in this video. Tries to enter, realizes the depth, and nopes outta there. Saved themselves a bunch of money
That dude was like “ naah my vw’s maintainnence is already high”
The mini parked in the middle of the road was the red flag 🚩
He prolly also have a capable car
Yeah...... about that..
The stats don't look good for the humans
Tip to drivers: if you come to a spot lined with people all pointing their cellphones at you, think about why that might be...
Lol
Tbh I think many are tempted to even do it because there are so many kids cheering. Sure it‘s funny to watch but a bit shitty of the residents too.
@@pavelp5000 It would be kinda funny to come at it going about 100kph and shower all those people.
If I was the tow guy, I'd be charging $100 USD per car rescue. Looks like a $1,000 Day easily.
This is so good to watch
Can’t believe how thick these people are…
median IQ is about 100, that leaves lots of room for stupidity. Add in ego and showing off and there is plenty of material to work with.
I like how the guy with the snorkel is the only person who went through this properly. A lot of them would have been ok if they didn't see the water and think "punch it!"
Yeah true but sealed batteries on the tesla bossed it
Yeah, the Tesla went through it like it was made for it😂
Give it some time….
I’m sure those electronics will have some damage.
Very true.
@@gurudath_s , however, if water gets into the Tesla, it will require much more expensive fix than a ICE.

this video cost a fortune, thank you for sharing.
A slow even pace is what you want, never overrun your wake. Longtime offroader and jeeper here, you can cross impressively deep water in a regular vehicle if your careful and understand what is happening. The key is to avoid quickly running water that can take you downstream to certain despair.
@@zaandam0172 it’s only a 5min diversion to go around this
It’s not your wake. It’s your bow wave you need to keep in front of you.
@@dannyt3180 sshhhh don't broadcast that, it'll spoil our viewing if they go the other way 😉
"jeeper"
I'm sure I could drown my Jeep in that, the intake is above the left headlight. But I'd creep in then drive through slowly and the water would never get over my bumper.
Im honestly shocked at how many stupid people attempted to drive through this.
Ikr, people dont know abt hydrolock
Some people like to learn the hard way 🤣
@@HondaRidea haha! Yeah - a bit like Lemmings!
Yeah, but what's $50k, no big
That was likely an average intelligence cross section of people.....
That green mini hydrolocked 100% so he`s up for a new engine😂
The biggest fail is trying to drive fast through, pretty slowly and steady is the key to not get water into your air intake.
And if the engine stops never try to restart, the water gonna destroy the hole engine, creates to high pressure inside !
I love how the only person who didn't have to go slower (with the snorkle) was also the only person that drive through at an appropriate speed.
Because he has snorkel . He knew what he was doing. ;)
That LC80 driver sure knows how to cross a body of water
@@romanbeletsky6988 Yeah, I off-road in Borneo with a Hilux. We know there are other things, such as diff breathers, which we'd rather not forcibly flood. Wet, yes. Under speed/pressure? Best not.
Huh? The Grand Cherokee ripped right through but it actually has water fording abilities, although unlikely at the speed he went through.
its actually safer to drive slower through water.
This is what happens when you have generations of people who do not understand how cars work. You can tell who understands by how fast they went through the water. It's really sad.
What does your speed have anything to do with it. Wouldn't it be about depth? If the water reaches the intake that's all that matters.
@@TheMidnightNarwhal if you just roll thru the water, the water will not reach as high as if you were to slam into it pushing water over the vehicle and thru the grille.
@@ZaGMagic Oh gotcha yeah in that sense. That said with knowing how cars work I would never still attempt this. This is more than just a big ass puddle. The moment the water is high enough for the intake it's done.
A lot of the people are older, I don't think generation is an issue, it's just people who are uninformed, from all generations.
@@IRJesoosVidya That is why I said generations of people, not just this generation. However, it is much more prevalent now as more and more people dont even know how engines and cars work.
@1:42 “What’s that? Your mini is flooded? Let me join you!”
this is the best thing ever
The air intake is typically right above the manufacturer's logo at the front of the car. If the water gets higher than about 1 inch above the logo, the car is going to swallow water. That's why it's essential to drive dead slow to avoid making a wave that pushes water up and over the intake. If the engine swallows water, with a petrol you might be able to maybe run it after it dries out but probably not. With a Diesel it's even more unlikely because the high compression means you'll bend a connecting rod if the engine tries to compress water. Honestly, the best car out of all of these is the Tesla because it doesn't intake anything to run. That thing will keep working probably even totally submerged if the seals around the electronics hold.
There's a video from china where the tesla is submerged in the water to the windows and still drives without any problems for a good couple hundred metres that it's visible in the video.
that's why it's essential not to drive in a body of water without a snorkel fitted - those drivers have more money than brains, even the Tesla driver
True. fun fact, Elon said that his cars are basically made like submarines
Not at all. Water has definitely got into the battery, many MS/MX owners had water inside their batteries after going through a deep puddle (not even a lake like in this video!). The problems will show up after about a week or two. This car has basically one foot in its grave.
IIRC teslas can be completely sealed from the outside and are able to be fully submerged for a little bit. And also I believe the new cyber truck also floats in deep water so you can essentially boat it across water
Amazing , the land cruiser with the snorkel and roof top tent who prop could have gone through at any speed was one of the few that did it correctly
Yep. Water has 700 times the density of air, it can break stuff.
Because he knows what to do and does this stuff regular :) I have a mildly lifted Hilux with a snorkel and would do the same, create a little bow wave and follow it.
@@wordreet Exactly. Why do most of these drivers think that it's a good idea to drive through water at high speed when is so dense🤔
@@Blue2024_rs "maybe if I go fast enough, I can get across to the other side before the tires have a chance to sink too far into the water"

I was looking for a car online. Although this one doesn't have a product marketing involve, features, year model, but this water sure will tell you an honest review to consider. Cheers! and good job.
Thanks again, Ben...i liked the one where the guy was being pulled out and opened his car door to let ALL the water escape... Simply Amazing...🤦♂️👍
Just shows how ruined the car was.

Car is dead and for what, to save a de-tour 🤦 ruined!!!
😂😂 Best one yet! Took the time to get a personalised reg for it but didn't care enough to take a detour!!
I just loved how the Audi gave no regard whatsoever and added an extra splash of water on the BMQ and got stuck himself.
The number one rule of driving across water:
The water is always deeper than it looks.
And that water looks pretty deep already lol
In this case there is literally a depth gauge and I think someone said it's at 2ft. My number 1 rule for water is never go dapper that half way up your tires MAX. Usually once you're above your hubs you're dangerously close to things like your transfer case, dif and tranny breathers. Then above that is usually your air intake tucked somewhere in the bumper. Hell my Celica routes the intake right to the front grill, right at the bottom so maybe 6" off the ground at most it's actually below my tranny breathers.
I turned my volume all the way up so I could hear the exact moments there motors were done!!!

@@bengregers wow🙄
During my career as a mechanic I dismantled several engines that were wrecked due to hydraulic lock up. When water enters the combustion chamber on the compression stroke it has nowhere to go, and water cannot be compressed. When the piston reaches the top of it’s stroke it meets the uncompressible water, and the usual result is a broken piston and/or a bent con rod. It only takes an eggcup sized amount of water to enter the engine to destroy it.
Well said and you forgot to mention about the many electrical shorts that also occurs. So many computer in modern cars.
Years ago, having fitted a cold air intake/induction kit I drove through a not very deep flood and proceeded to hoover it into my engine.
By some fluke the head gasket was apparently on the way out and the water in the cylinders blew the head gasket apart resulting in no compression but no damage to the engine beyond replacing the gasket.
@@fuijika especially that Tesla.
I was thinking more that they were getting there intake wet an the maf on the throttle body if that gets wet there's no way the car is continuing to run I once seen a friend get his car hydro locked with too much gas it was a stinky an has everywhere
@@weejohnbb sorry,The electric motor doesn't need air, and the high voltage electrics are well shielded, so there's no risk of electrocution. Teslas will quite happily drive through deep puddles

In Australia we fix a tarp across the front of the car to keep the water out of the engine bay . Helps keep your motor dry. It creates that nice bow wave protects your radiator. You take it off straight after you cross or it impedes air flow and your car overheats . But it does wonders for the crossing .

Haha that got me too! Suppose it's to be expected considering it was practically floating when that other car passed it 😂
I like how the one with the snorkel was the only one that didn't go splash splash through the puddle.
yeah, the trick is to not throw water over the hood of the car like an idiot.
That's because he knows how to do water crossings. Enter slowly so you don't create a massive splash, and then drive through at a steady pace so that you create and stay behind a nice bow wake, which basically pushes the water out from in front of you. Most of the SUVs that drove through that probably could have made it has they hadn't gunned it.

Teslas are heavy enough to maintain grip, electric so they don't need air intake continuously, and the battery packs are well enough sealed to cope with a ford. Not entirely sure how well the doors and air vents are made to keep out water though.
Old Land Rovers.
Je vois que la seule personne qui passe la plus lentement passe sans problème alors qu'il est équipé d un snorkel BRAVO
That one smart person at the end...
Strong effort from Landover even with the drivers trying their best to cram as much water as they could into the air intakes
I love when the 4x4 drivers think they are invincible.
The evoke is not a 4x4 by far.
@@jayd8743 Technically it is.
@@jayd8743 An Evoque made it. The Disco Sport failed... Though another one managed it later on... The lady in the Range Rover and the driver of that Land Cruiser showed them how to do it right
SUVs are not 4x4 they may be 4WD/AWD but they are not 4X4s, that is a name used for off road and greenlane vehicles. Defenders, disco 1&2 , landcruisers etc.. are 4x4s. rangerovers, disco sports and the likes are SUVs.
@@garethreece the disco sport could've easily made it. with proper technique (also known as common sense) i have no doubt it would do a lot better than most
Nada mas delicioso que el sonido de un motor quebrado por el ingreso del agua a sus valvulas... En efecto esto es TOP GEAR!
If I lived in Rufford, I'd never be in! I'd be on the bridge with a beer! 😂
Love how the landcruiser just strolled through that like it was a puddle. Incredible vehicles. Impressed with the Jeep Grand Cherokee too.
Got to be an american.
Range Rover? The proper one? Land cruiser had a snorkel
Any car can go through deep water. You just need to know where your air intake is and drive accordingly. And high vechile will easy go through that water.
Biggest mistake the people make in this video using their cars. They enter the water way too fast and don't realize the pussing the water up to go over the bonnet and swamp the engine bay with water.
Rule 1 don't go into water if the standing water will be higher than the Lowes part of you car body. If you must go do it very very very slowly
@@SoldierDemps nope, next worse country for drivers, the UK.
A snorkel and driving slow is all it takes.
Eventually, at least one sane driver realizes that that isn't just a tiny water puddle but it is a deep flood indeed that could potentially damage the car.
Nar that’s because it was a VW Amarok fully allergic to H2O.
And funny how it's the driver that drove a car that could have made it across safely...
Oh it will damage unless it has a snorkel car will be fine
Рейнджроверы самые крутые по ходу в этом плане ))
What’s worse, the gormless drivers, the gormless people standing watching or us gormless people sat at home watching?
The amount of money in motors that road has claimed could of paid for a bridge
It did. A pedestrian bridge
Why don't they build a bridge
Can we name this the worst street?
It's a case study I'm poor infrastructure....
@@AlphaKing30 That costs the _locals_ money, and they already know how to get around it if they can't get through.
@@DVul there is 5min longer way around it a bad infrastructure decision would be to build an expensive bridge whit continuous maintenance cost when there is a 5min longer alternative that you would only have to use on high water days.
I never cease to be amazed by these videos. It’s like watching natural selection amongst drivers license holders…
I love how they suddenly stop, after crossing like if they forgot something 😅
Land Rover is really getting creative with their commercials.
