"And again, keep trying" has got to be the stupidest thing possible to tell someone who's flooded their car.

[@garryferrington811]

Or the most malicious! 😈

[@dcasteaux9181]

Not if you want to bend the con rods.

"That's got to be one of the most foolish things that I've done." Full credit to you for being so honest.

Lesson One: If someone on the bank is filming don't enter the ford. They are there for a reason!

@@davidmckinlay425 It's still ridiculously stupid to take that risk. There's an example of a tow strap (or something it's attached to) failing in the exact same scenario in this same video at the 6:49 mark. Now imagine it that had a shackle on the end and there was a kid sat there!

The amount of people that think their car can turn into a boat is astonishing.......

[@TYSuggested]

Also don't see why people think they need to step on it while the water is already up to the headlights. Only makes the wave bigger.

[@Dan23_7]

That Volvo (2nd car) did it quite well and not too fast, the air intake must be really low on those. Any way…. Thank you for the entertainment 😂😂

[@thefreedomguyuk]

Air intake is below the cooler. In order to breathe cold air, and hence improve power/fuel economy.

[@bughunt69]

Was surprised Volvo clonked out he drove through slowly and water was not that high crap design on Volvos part should of easily made it

[@mjohns5944]

Wading height on a XC60 is door bottom/cill at walking speed. I checked on mine..its in the manual. That little sentence will save me hundreds one day.

[@mountainbiker9307]

1:35, telltale sound of a buggered motor.

[@Azureecosse]

because removing the air filter is going to fix an engine with water in the cylinders that cant go anywhere, bent conrods a plenty

[@VDPEFi]

Love how volvo owners continue to do this, they have never made an off road vehicle, the xc70 and xc90 are just tall estates, intake right at the front like the s70 from 1999 at Asda

[@joelbolton7252]

As a Volvo owner in the US, I was so angered to see this. Like, what universe would these cars do any better than anyone else with the air intake where it is? lol Sad

[@Everything_Evan]

Exactly, if a vehicle was designed to go off road from factory it would have a fancy air-intake to deal with water that comes through the pipe, just proves that these are just raised cars.

[@MattF340]

@@Everything_Evan And raised £££ for the manufacturers.

[@CycolacFan]

I draw your attention to the Volvo TP21 and the Volvo C303… but you’re right about the XC range.

[@shelbyng8703]

All those vehicles are able to cross that flooding, even the compacts! The key is speed. Once you hit the gas and water rushes over the grille and hood your car is done. You just have to drive slowly and steady. The best example was the Gray Renault Cargo Van at 6:00.

[@ArjunDharve]

Its amazing to see still so so many drivers out on the streets who do not understand the basics of safely navigating through a ford.

[@stevenyoung9584]

some of these people are older than me, they haven't gained much life experience in that time, especially driving! 😅

[@davekennedy6315]

Insurance shouldn't cover this as it is down to sheer stupidity!

[@zocca0134]

They most likely don't cover it

[@lesliereed4047]

It depends on how convincing they lie, but if they are recovered by a professional vehicle recovery company, the insurance underwriter can obtain details of where the recovery took place and is the risk of being charged with insurance fraud really worth it.

[@SirReginaldBlomfield1234]

You can bet your life all the insurance companies are aware of these videos on KZbin of people purposefully driving into deep water. It's never accidental.

[@davekennedy6315]

@SirReginaldBlomfield1234 yeah, they have the perfect evidence to deny a claim!

[@o0TaxMan0o]

How so many people dont know how to do this is remarkable. If it goes over the bonnet and tou dont have a snorkle you're as good as fucked.

[@FPVsean]

A snorkel isn't much use either unless its super waterproofed (which 99% arent) a snorkel just acts as a raised air intake for rain spray and dust. Useful for fjording? Most times no because they'll leak

i cannot comprehend how you live some where, where it floods often, and you dont know how to drive through deep water... incredible lol but im also thankful because otherwise videos like this wouldnt exist 🤣

[@61rampy65]

You see the same thing where it snows a lot. People still have no idea how to drive in it.

[@jamesw.6931]

An adult should know you cannot take a passenger vehicle into deep water; if you do, it's best to take it slowly. Occasionally, in the outback where the wife and I reside, flood waters overcome the roads. Even with an F-350 SuperDuty Diesel lifted 6" rolling on 37's, I take it slowly and occasionally find an alternate way to get home rather than risk destroying my truck...

[@CycolacFan]

Probably the first time many of the owners of these modern cars have ever even opened the bonnet…

[@paulillingworth1242]

Take filter off, plugs out and crank it over to try and clear the water. Some of these are proper “Dime Bars”

[@neilg3364]

These people shouldn't get an insurance payout, down right negligence

[@tibsie]

It always amazes me that some people don't realise that cars need to breathe and can't hold their breath. Driving into a ford like that is like holding someone's head underwater and then being surprised that they drown.

[@G.H.vanderrijt]

From the Netherlands: Does insurance in the UK cover these damages?

[@RichieReportsUK]

2:24 - the sound of the hydrolock can be heard! Plus the sight of several people waiting around to film you, surely must be an early warning that its too deep to drive through!!

[@wacman]

Seen many a towing hook been ripped out of the threads.

[@user-dd9tc4zz8j]

They may as well throw the car away. The engine damage is enormous. Once the insurance company finds out you wrecked your engine through stupidity, it’s your problem.

[@PanPuchacki]

I'm glad that I'm watching these videos. At least I will never become an embarrassment for KZbin purposes. There was once a clip of a guy tackling the water on reverse. He made it through but no one ever did the same.

[@anthonypert574]

Just reminded me I have a narrow boat channel to watch

[@EricvandeLoo]

Doesn't a Renault Megane have a drag eye? Where the towing cable was attached doesn't seem like the best place to drag a car away

[@PanPuchacki]

And that why this year's insurance is up 50%.

[@jagarg6573]

Not the depth thats the problem- Its the speed ..

[@duckydashcam751]

"Yeah, i have never been down this way...." No, i have never tried to drive from the Netherlands to Great Britain, but next time i am at Scheveningen i will drive my car right of the pier and just try it out like you people do. You never know, it might work. Sweet Jezus, what a lemmings. "yeah, just a bit of water in the air filter, don't mind what already has been sucked into the engine"

[@SIEMIONW]

There is only one general rule when overcoming a water obstacle. SLOWLY!! Not only because quickly means that water will get into the air intake system and the inside engine. You can't see where the road is, you don't know what's under the water, whether the strong current of water has destroyed the road. Even if you know this road because you have been driving it every day for several dozen years. You don't know what's under the water, so you drive SLOWLY. There is a proverb. "The slower you go, the further you go..."

[@michaeld5888]

People should be made to show they know where and what the air intake of the car is before taking their test and told it is consuming in the order of 1000 times the air the driver consumes per minute. 6 litres as against 6,000+ litres per minute. Check the numbers yourself which vary with revs and cc but the air used by an engine is prodigious and not going too work well with the front piled with water. In fact part of the test should be opening the bonnet and showing what the consumables are needing replenishing if low would be a good idea if not done already. Any sign of hydrolock best to switch off and wait for a tow. There is a youtube strip down of an engine that ran for a few weeks until a bent con rod finally gave way and the valves were leaking with bent stems . Many of the vehicles inundated in the mad rush to get through though driving away seemingly OK are likely to be compromised to some degree. Rufford Ford is a good example of that with its long straight to a bend where some cars can manage a long stint but fail before the corner.

[@Azureecosse]

Just driving into water is madness, not just the engine getting wet its the cv shafts boots leaking water into the CV joints, water can get sucked in through the drive shafts into the gearbox ( thermal shock) the hubs ABS sensors its a mugs game driving your vehicle into anything more than half a foot of water, driving fast into it just blasting the water into areas where water should never go on an unprepped production vehicle.
