in the blink of an eye they fucked their cars

[@aarondostie7366]

I live in the USA but one thing I appreciate about you Brits is you guys stay cool in pretty much any situation, no one freaked out or acted unnecessarily dramatic.

[@gk6018]

i think the only reason some of these people are so calm is because they have no idea how badly they've just fucked their cars, they think it's just killed the battery or something minor like one of them said

[@davidbillyard6629]

And they more than likely won’t get a payment from their insurance provider.

That's because when they get home they know they will get a cup of tea and everything will be fine 😂

I think we need to all give Ben and the other KZbinrs, and regulars on scene a HUGE thanks not only for providing some top quality entertainment, but also the help offered to all the clowns that drive through. Wading in to rescue the driving instructor while the fireman watched on, and making sure he got out safely, the mechanical advice "You've stuffed the engine" and not least, towing out people time and time again.

[@_fefe]

@@maxmustermann8167 in every driving school, they learn the basics of operating a vehicle's engine, or at least they did in the past. This illiteracy only produces stupid users

[@maxmustermann8167]

@@_fefe In most cases the older drivers seem to know how to drive in these Situations. I never had a situation like that and i have been in almost every european country by car. Honestly i would turn around and find another way. At least it would seem suspicous to me when there are people around filming others driving through the water. I would ask them whats going on and try or turn around. I cant believe there are countries in europe still having a Ford, every car is leaking small amounts of oil it cant by good for the environment. Yes it ist stupid to go on moving without knowing what to do and what can happen. I know my car´s intercooler is mounted pretty low and would never even try. At least i know to handle a car full speed better than most other people on the planet, everybody has talents.

It just goes to show how clueless these drivers are. None of them have the first clue as to where the air intake is located on the engine. The silly woman @6:15 "I didn't realise how deep it was."

Never, never, never, never, NEVER enter flood water in a motor vehicle - especally in a van noted for its vulnerability to water ingestion.

Just know where your intake is, not that any of those intellectuals know how to open the bonnet

[@skynetsworld]

Oh, i would if the water was max. 1/2 feet high oder if i had an ATV like a Range Rover with a snorcel for the air intake that's high enough for 3 feet of water.

In the flood season you must drive slowly and carefully in the water.

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.

but you are still submerging wheel bearings...

[@goclunker]

@@chaosflower4892 they are sealed. If they leak, fill up and grenade, then they needed to be replaced anyway

[@chaosflower4892]

@@goclunker No. Sealed does not mean totally sealed.. that would be impossible.. the seals keeps most grit and grime and water out during normal driving.. but driving through floods will breach the sealing... being submerged will breach soils.. the seals will help keep out water.. and grease will displace and help seal out water because it is thicker.. but water will still ingress.. I have no idea what you mean by leak, fill up and grenade...

[@goclunker]

@@chaosflower4892 i drove through that flood in 2014. It is 2024 and I have the same wheel bearings and they are still silent with no play. Thank you for your contribution. If machinery bearing seals worked like you describe, nothing would work ever. Perhaps you’re thinking of bicycle or rollerblade bearing seals. Idk

[@chaosflower4892]

@@goclunker The bearings on a car are not dissimilar to those on any other item with bearings. Be it a skateboard, lathe or bicycle. With the same kind of seals. Only the size changes.. and the materials may or may not be more premium (more money = better bearings). Bearing seals help to keep water and grit out. 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.

[@TheGeezzer]

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!

[@TheGeezzer]

So the question is...Wheres your air intake? Above the waterline? Or Below it?

[@bigbazzus]

The thing that kills it is that water is an incompressible fluid, so it's the squeeze bit too

[@TheGeezzer]

@@bigbazzus Yes you're absolutely right. Trying to squeeze water would bend metal components. Getting water into your cylinders is a pretty bad idea!
