[@jamiepeterson5646]

The golden rule is don't catch up to your bow wave. If you do, you're essentially creating a sonic boom, which allows the water to be effectively much deeper. Maybe the other golden rule is don't go fording streams, since it's going to do a number on your car regardless.

It's what you call knackered

[@shieldaigbencher]

Just so everyone knows, if you are stupid enough to plough through water and are fortunate enough to get to the other side then turn your car off. Open the air filter box. Take your air filter out and dry the box it was in. Remove your spark plugs. Keep the bonnet open and crank your engine. Any water will be expelled 100 metres into the air from your spark plug holes. Reverse this procedure and pray like mad. If you have a diesel, ignore this advice and ring a car hire company.

[@HANZELVANDERLAAY]

You can takeout the injectors ina diesel..and clear the cylinders

[@vetrieska11]

@@HANZELVANDERLAAY yes, but higher compression ratio destroys diesel much faster when water enter intake. even if not totally locked, rodes and crankshaft probably bent.

Suck that water right into the engine....what a wanker.....isn't a natural reaction to stop and get out, open hood, open airbox and at least remove the water logged air filter and use some rags and dry out as much as you can...before trying to start the engine?! Cheers Ben...thanks for standing out there and filming, it is pure entertainment!

[@fuelaholic]

You’d think it’d be a natural reaction, but here we are. Most drivers today don’t have a clue how any internal combustion engine works, or even what it is. They push a button on their dash, and they drive.

[@notmanynamesleft]

For a small percentage of people yes,but around 75% of people never lift the bonnet of their cars, they're completely clueless as to how they function.

If you watch the rest of the videos on this channel, Golf’s actually are pretty successful, there’s been quite a few videos of their success!

At 7.25 minutes an electric Volkswagen ID braved the deep, not going to have a hydro lock up on this model. But electricity and water don't mix that well?

[@billeldon]

The issue would be, as with any modern vehicle, flooding all the electronics that are mounted low, under the hood/bonnet, under seats, in cowl side panels, etc. That is what makes cars driven in deep water a total loss /writeoff.

[@GP-pw5wb]

@@billeldon yep seen far too many, even if they are repaired the vehicle muti plug connections will give endless trouble for the rest of its life. Why are people so dumb, if you want to tranverse a river buy a boat. Still taking an EV into a flood is not a wise idea in my mind knowing if an short did occur the resulting electrical fire will soon dry things out.

[@TheSmilePerson]

Honestly surprised his engine even started a bit even after the hydrolock 💀

[@onlymeonlyme-e8j]

It's hydrolocked. Go grease lightning.🤭

[@mllarson]

So, this may sound dumb, but I wonder if less cars would suffer engine damage due to inhaling water if the drivers would drive backwards through the water to avoid that wake going up and into the intake? I understand that in too deep of water it wouldn't make any difference; rather I'm referring to the water just high enough to be a problem at too great of speed.

[@davidgray2653]

If you went backwards all you will do is push water up exhaust and and will stop any way
