Also the high viscosity grease used to pack out bearings resists water ingresss.. but driving through flood water will cause some water ingress. Thank you for your lack of humility.

4-stroke petrol engines work on the Suck-Squeeze-Bang-Blow protocol. Its the _suck_ part that interests us here, the pistons' downward motion with intake valves open sucks air through the manifold into the engine to run it (mixed with petroleum vapours in the carburettor) Submerging your air intake underwater is not a good idea, the engine will suck water in the same as it does air. You're drowning your engine! a.k.a hydralocking it. Its an expensive put-right after you've putwronged it!

Is water not air in the engine terminal......i hope so!

Even the Subaru with the snorkel died! What is in that puddle?

30+ years ago when I went through my driving lessons, I was told if I ever have to go through deep water, go slow but keep the revs high, essentially rev the balls off the car but keep the clutch up enough to keep moving slowly. Then my instructor told me if the engine were to cut out, it's too deep 🤣 Funny thing is, I've never cut out in deep water !. Watching these people is painful.

The craziest ones are the people who see a broken down car in the water and STILL go through.

The silver caravan went through the first time OK, I guess they grew a larger set of balls, and tried it again? That didn't work out for them. To make things even worse, they have a handicap sticker in the window...

Until seeing this, I'd never realised just how many stupid drivers are out there. Do the guys hauling the idiots out charge them, if so, how much?

"Didn't realise it was that deep" was she blind?

I really cant believe how stupid some people are! .... it's beggars belief.....do they honestly think that a car can go through that depth of water 😂

Why do so many people think their car is a boat? When there's deep water ahead you should realise it's best to take a detour! And especially trying to drive through the deep water with high speed is stjupid because that way you push only more water into your engine. And, as one of the people in the vidoo said, trying to start your drowned engine and to drive on will only damage your engine further.
