[@willbill808]

@@Robert-cu9bm Really any internal combustion engine would get fucked from sucking in more than a tiny amount of water. When water gets sucked in, it’s like drastically lowering the effective height of the head, to the point of severe interference. Suddenly your 10:1 or 20:1 (diesel) becomes like 5000:1 and bends shit.

[@kickdoc2427]

Intercooler

[@Robert-cu9bm]

@@willbill808 Not always, many factors determine the outcome, how much water the speed of the engine..etc. It's more likely for a diesel as they run a much higher compression, have bigger flywheels. The rotating mass in a diesel is far higher than a petrol, then combine that with the higher compression ration is the reason it's worse for a diesel to get water in the intake.

[@bircov]

Funny thing is that if you drive slowly, you can do that in almost every car, without any damage. But these people seem to not know that by driving fast they're making a big wave in front of the car, which floods the air intake and goes straight to the engine. Typically, it needs then a full disassemble, cleaning and replacing the pistons, cranks and other parts. In many cases it's more expensive than the engine replacement or even a whole car.

[@Slazlo-Brovnik]

My theory is, that most people don't even know anymore how combustion engines work.

[@matthewsmith2787]

Funny how some all the cheaper cars seem to survive and the expensive ones break down

[@pistonburner6448]

That's because so many cheaper cars have transverse engines with the air intake safer behind the engine and exhaust facing forward.

[@onapier]

@Silverhoof this is a ford. it's meant to be driven through, but only if the water is low enough or your clearance high enough.

[@phmwu7368]

It all depends how low the Air Intake is positioned in the fender behind the frontwheels... better ontop of the enigne or the best is using a snorkel (air intake ontop car window)

When water enters through the air filter and is sucked into the engine the things goes horribly wrong. Since the water cannot compress as much as the air, the piston going upwards is trynig to squeeze it but instead the result is bent piston rods and the engine is gone...

The water cannot be compressed at all.

Have you thought about publishing a league table of which cars have the highest chances of failure to cross? I was well impressed the Lexus's made it, those hybrids have vented battery packs under the back seat. Electricity and water generally don't mix well 💥. 😂.

[@misatokitkat]

these hybrid batteries are over the frame, on the side you can access from the top (usually somewhere under the rear seats), so they're not in immediate danger once the car is half-tire deep in the water. plus wiring is insulated. Idk if toyota's engineers expected people would try crossing 60 cm of water, but they should have expected people to use their car in very heavy rain, so water running down the car and all over the bottom of the frame is taken into account :)
