It’s astonishing how dumb most people in this video are. He nailed it though

I don't know why I'm so mesmerized by these videos. I start watching for the brake lights before the car comes up out of the water or the telltale steam from the exhaust as instant signs that yet another one didn't make it. I looked this area up on a map, and it's not like there aren't alternative routes that drivers could take, especially when the water is 2' deep or more. It's just easier in the moment to plow on through. The locals in these videos must be the ones with snorkels on their Land Rovers. If I ever make it to England again, I'd like to just sit on the deck by the building here at the side of the road here and watch for the lights and steam as the cars go by.

*MESSAGE TO ALL DRIVERS* The reason you shouldn't drive through deep water is because your car's engine has pistons that move up and down about 30 times a second, in this movement the pistons draw air and fuel in through a vacuum and then compress the mixture. Getting water in your engine will flood the cylinders and since the water can't be compressed, it will get stuck in the cylinder and will hydrolock the engine (a fancy way of saying the engine wont be able to keep turning) therefor it will pretty much write off your engine or cost a lot of money to fix as a result of the internals being destroyed from the stress. This can all happen within seconds of your grill being submerged so I highly suggest finding another way home. Hope this helps.

Entering slowly helps reduce this risk and gives the viscous coupling on the fan a chance to cool so it will spin the fan slower.

Even if a car has a snorkel exhaust and/or otherwise makes it through the deep water, a lot of dirty filthy water is likely to come into your interior and ruin it forever. You need to know the measurement of the ground to the bottom of the door and check with the depth gauge provided by the authorities before going into the water. People don't think though, and trust to luck or expect the cars to defy the laws of physics. A lot of good cars must have been ruined that day.

Wheel bearings? You obviously not a mechanic I would be more interested in a bent rods from the engine sucking in water water does not compress

That Irish driver at 3.45 with the Cork registration is just about cursing his damn sat nav, and wondering how the hell he's gonna get home.

First, don't just plow through the water. Go in slow and keep a steady pace, creating a wake in front of you. Second, don't stop. Most of these cars should have made it just fine. The Defenders knew what to do.

There is a baffle box on the intake in some vehicles that allow for this scenario. Fast or slow wake or no wake, if the intake has a chance to vacuum up water and it has no other escape method you will hydro lock. Also if the intake is plumbed to the fender to avoid engine bay temps, then this to can aid on locking up your motor(water flung up into the fender)(a lot of water). I have had a 86 and a 07 Toyota pickup, and they have both had this feature. Not much talk about it, but man it is sure a worth while invention that must have added some cost to the manufacturing process. And im thankfull for it. In the event your engine does turn off due to water egress LEAVE IT OFF, REMOVE ALL SPARK PLUGS. CRANK STARTER UNTILL CYLINDERS PUSH OUT THE WATER, REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS. DRIVE HOME. YOU ARE NEED OF A IMMEDIATE OIL CHANGE. AND ALL AXLES AND TRANSFER CASE NEED A FLUID CHANGE AS WELL, EVEN IF YOU DONT HYDRO LOCK. You need elevated breathers on your differentials in order to drive through water this deep. The hot axle hitting cold water causes a vacuum and socks water into the diffs, they will seem fine for months but you will have a gray slug in there and this dosnt lubricate well enough.

@@stopdusty420 This is just a very, very nice way of saying the OP's comments are foolish. And I can't believe 77 people agreed with him/her. Then again, I can after watching this vid. I genuinely don't mean to be rude, but this is why no shortage of vids like this exist: people just think they know better when they really don't. Aside from the mechanicals you mentioned, any modern car (of which there were many in this vid) is filled to the brim with expensive electronic modules, and the ones in the interior of the vehicle typically aren't anything close to watertight (that's why they can get ruined, for example, due to a leaky trunk that drips even tiny bits of rain on them). I'd also argue that there should be some concern with driving through a giant electrical conductor like dirty water (only pure water is guaranteed to be a good insulator) with the unprotected power and ground terminals that exist on any car and are often located relatively low (eg; right behind the kick/knee panel). But even barring ignorance of the vulnerable mechanicals/electronics/electricals, I feel like common sense would/should take over when presented with a scenario where you have a vehicle with only a foot of clearance and an obstacle consisting of a relatively large volume of water that's 2+ feet deep. Like Mike Tyson would probably say, everyone has a plan until your tires can't touch the bottom.

It's weird, yes, I was taught something like that in driving school should I ever fail to get off a railroad crossing that's closing at the time the engine might cut out due to a malfunction. (I do wonder how much the more modern cars will actually let you use the starter engine when the master control unit sensed a problem so serious it caused the ignition to stall, I know some of them will cease every type of operation that would try to make the vehicle driveable). Yes it's probably damaging to the startermotor, the gearbox and the battery for drawing that much power for such a long time, but at least someone remembered how to at least get out of a spot you don't want to keep your vehicle stuck in.

I like most people's approach of just ramming it at speed. The concept of starting slow and maintaining a bow wave is not a thought for most of them. Edit: let me clarify: I am not saying to go as slow as a fucking snail. Still keep some forward momentum but go slow enough to start a bow wave. Door seals will keep the interior dry even when under water as long as you keep moving. Water really starts to get in when you stop or get stuck in the water. I've forded some deep rivers with my snorkeled 4Runner and not gotten any water in. I've also had standing water in the interior but only when I've gotten stuck and had to winch out. The real fun is taking out the seats, carpet, and soaking wet OEM sound deadening. Replacing the stock stuff with something like dyna mat makes the next time much easier.

Electronics failing on a BMW? That never happens! 😂

For anyone wondering what not to do after hitting this much water and stalling the motor.. don’t try cranking your car without first checking your oil. If there’s water in your oil don’t start the car.. get a tow. If there’s no water pull your air filter and let it all dry out a bit and it should fire back up. If you crank your car with water in your crank case you’re gonna have a worse day than hitting the flood.
