      Is a hydro-locked engine almost always a write-off?

    • @JUANKERR2000
      @JUANKERR2000 Рік тому +86

      @@OFFtheCHIZANE The effect of pistons coming to a dead stop in milliseconds from several hundred or thousands of RPM, as they try to compress the incompressible, throws enormous stresses onto the connecting rods as they try to absorb the kinetic energy stored in the crankshaft, flywheel and transmission, not to mention inertia of a ton and a half or more of vehicle and passengers, resulting in their being bent or broken. Broken rods most likely will mean engine block write-off, crankshaft damage etc.

      I'm fairly certain the insurers will pay on a fully comprehensive policy (you've had it on Third Party Fire & Theft of course - but who has that any more)- in the same way as if you damage any other aspect of your car by your own accident, with no-one else involved. However, having 'got away' - if you do - with the potential thousands of costs on engine repairs/replacement - or whole car written off, the financial 'damage' is longer term and a bit gut wrenching for your stupidity in trying to make your car or van a boat!. Loss of a 'life' on protected no claims bonus - or - loss of no claims bonus if it's not protected (ouch - very expensive at renewal) - and in event of either of foregoing, you have to declare the claim and the amount paid on trying to get alternative quotes at renewal - more pain and expense that will haunt you for some years!

    The main problem, apart from the nut holding the steering wheel, is that most cars now have intake ducts that are positioned in the daftest of places, usually very low at the front of the car. Older cars with a good old fasioned air cleaner on top of a carburettor picked up the air from the top of the engine bay hence keeping a good bow wave helped keep the air intake out the water. Any car I have I remove the ducting so the intake is higher in the engine bay or reroute it to a higher position.

    @The_Doc_Rocks 10 місяців тому

    As a long-time 4WD enthusiast, it just boggles my mind that so many idiots think that hitting the water at speed is going to get them through it by momentum.
    1. Start super slow, stay in a low gear to keep the revs up, then GENTLY accelerate but only to the point where you're pushing a LOW bow wave - NOT a huge splosh that comes up over the front of the vehicle. Snorkel or no snorkel - you do NOT want water sploshing up under the engine and getting into either the air intake or the electrics.
    2. You're in an air-tight boat, essentially, with 4 air-inflated buoyancy devices - tyres. So if the water is, say, deep enough to cover more than half your wheel diameters, you will float off the underlying surface and lose traction to some (or all) degree. So, if there is ANY significant cross current flowing (we see this a lot in Australia with flood waters over bridges across fast-flowing rivers), you WILL get washed away sideways.
    Slow entry, high revs, GENTLE bow wave, and common sense should see most vehicles through this ford safely. We cross much bigger and deeper fords than this routinely in the wet season here in tropical Australia - but we're not idiots (well, most of us, at least) and we know that slow and gentle are the keywords. Maybe the idiots in these videos are actually just trying to splash the bystanders watching and filming it all? ;)
