I don't look at a estuary and think, yes, I'll cross that in my car. For some reason, once people see theres tarmac underneath they still look at it as been a road, I see something that's only suitable for boats.

      Colin CK. I live in a village in the UK that has two rivers that join up into one, and the roads in and out get flooded quickly if we have torrential rain for a few days. Being a motor mechanic I have seen it all over the last 50 years. Not only engines being ruined by bent conrods but also the electrics, with all later cars having canbus wiring and ECUs it doesn't take much to write a car off, especially if it's submerged for any length of time. It doesn't end there even if some repairs are done to get it going at a lot of expense as a few months down the line wheel bearings start to fail because oil seals are designed to stop lubricant getting out but water can get in. Even gearboxes and a RWD differentials can get water into them via breather tubes. I also wouldn't bother to even try knowing what can happen in water as deep as in the video.

    - Gets rescued by a pickup driver that has to accelerate violently to get him unstuck, possibly breaking some suspension components.

    Good upload Tom👌Crazy that there’s a bright yellow road sign showing a water depth of up to 3 feet literally right beside the road and yet people still think they can get through in their small family hatchback when it’s nearly that high.

    In Davao Philippines last night after torrential rain, we had to get through several floods. Many cars stopped at the sides of the road and a few conked out in the water. Gauging the depth by the height on the kerbstones, we crawled through on idle with no bow wave (Toyota Innova). Several who were stopped waited to see if we got through, then followed us. It's speed that wrecks your engine - not only does it shoot water into the engine intake, but also fills your sump. Cars don't run well on water as a lubricant, so those Discoverys and Range Rovers are in for an engine change.

    Water is essentially incompressible, especially under normal conditions. Once inside in your engine it will try to make the way out whilst being compressed by pistons . The weakest point is the head gasket and this is usually the first problem you will get by entering the water without a snorkel well above the surface. Also you should drive slowly and try to not create any waves - the same rule when you drive on ice( watch Ice Road Trucker). Some people may think that they were lucky and went away with a bit of white smoke etc. well wait few weeks maybe days and the white smoke will come back definitely - usually a sign of oil getting into exhaust manifold .

      By far the most common result of water in the cylinders is bending the connecting rods, and white smoke is coolant getting into the cylinder, oil would create blue smoke. Close enough though

    Back in my 20's I discovered the joys of hydro-locking an engine. 6 month old Golf GT(red)I, turns out water doesn't like to compress, who knew! The damage to the engine with getting a small amount of water into the intake and then one of the cylinders was remarkable, it actually managed to bend the conrod (and they are substantial on a PD150) so much that the bottom of the piston dropped down and locked the crank with enough force to put a hairline crack in the block. Had to stick a recon in it. Lesson learned !!!!
