Noticed same thing lol. Trying to get engine flooded

I was especially impressed by the defender 90 at 0:55 that should have had no issues given the depth if he hadn't bulldozed into it.

And the lambo lol

It's more the case of knowing how to drive a proper Ford. You see it here when the locals go past all the new 'SUVs' in their small hatchbacks. It's mostly technique in creating and sustaining the bow wave.

At best soaked air filter, at worst bent piston rods.

Electric generator and starter too, they hate water

I always know where my engine air intake is in case I find my self in this situation. Doesn’t everybody.

That`s right and as i explained above, most modern cars nowadays have the air intake behind the wing, down by the wheel. Years ago they used to be on top of the engine, about 20 years ago, i had an old MK2 Granada that had the air filter on top and i came across a flood on my way home, everyone was getting stuck in the middle, but i went straight through with no problem, because i knew the engine.

No one told him the engine is in de front now... 🤣

VW baby!!!!!!

No opening in the hood or front, except really low down for the intercooler and the air filter box his behind the battery nearly under the windshield.

Problem is the air intakes are at the side. He was lucky it wasn’t deeper.

@@raftonpounder6696 Good point.

@@raftonpounder6696 intakes are on the top.

I don’t think the Lambo got away plane sailing, he slowed right down then you could hear a belt screeching.

@@leebarrett9581 Probably got the dashboard lighting up like a Christmas tree lol.

operator error ,

Drilled air box for extra ponys 🤣

@@highdownmartin Between each ear...

Somethings been changed on that defender as there’s not a chance the water would get into the air intake doing this!

It was only 1 foot of water according to the gauge. Still, a JLR vehicle even getting to the ford is something they'll be proud of.

Now that’s how you do it…! Slow and steady and Keep the rpm’s relatively high and consistent…

because it's AE101 with manual i'm guessing? the automatic transmission more "sensitive" to flood, especially if the driver not put to Low gear before entering the water

Do not accelerate or deaccelerate when car is in the water,keep the throttle constant,if u increase the throttle,there would be more water coming inside the engine,nd if u decrease thn there would be increase in pressure in engine,to keep the vehicle going. Acceleration nd deacceleration works like a nozzle. U can even see,those who drive at the constant speed through water,be it a small car,they r passing easily,like the lamborgini guy,he didnt increase or decrease the speed while in water.

@@rahulsharma-ht7ut 0:23 he kept steady speed and failed. It depends on where your intake is more than anything else.

He likely charges for it though, as he should! Not that it makes him less of a gentleman. Dude probably makes a living from these idiots 😂😂🤌🏻

@Alen not true. AWD will not help if ground clearance dosent exist, tires are 3 times too wide amd power is 3 times too big. I would outdrive AWD Lambo on snow in FWD Skoda Octavia 1,9 TDI

@@zepter00 I was out in my lambo the other week in the snow. I was passing no end of other cars that were stuck. As @Alen said in most cases the lambo just like most AWD cars would be better than FWd. Pretty obvious really

There's a thought....does this ever freeze over? That would cause some issues.

can someone explain why the cars stop running? and the white smoke that follows?

@@doctor_who1 it's the Genie escaping... they used all their 3 wishes

@@doctor_who1 water is sucked in and destroys engine... So water and engine not good

@@doctor_who1 inside the engines, the pistons go up and down, compress the air and fuel is added for combustion. The cycled repeats. Air is quite squishy and relatively easy to compress. Water is NOT compressible at all, so if water gets sucked into the air intake and makes it’s way into the pistons, that causes problems. If it’s just a few droplets or so, it shouldn’t be much of a proplem, but if the quantity of water vs air being sucked in is too high in water, the pistons can’t compress it and the rods get bent and then, byebye engine 😢

The Defender is hardly a Chelsea tractor. The worst offender is that awful Jeep Renegade which isn't actually a Jeep, it's a Fiat 500 L

i'm constantly surprised at how most of RR Evoque models that drive through here always make it. i don't know if i'm just imagining it but that seems to be the case

That’s a Fiat built Jeep. Perfect for drowning

A typical Fix It Again Tony Jeep. Not even a proper Jeep.

@@mylifeasmanta it's tougher than its handbag clientele will ever know

Yep

Or backward

They’re afraid of getting stuck in the middle

@@CrispyHulk1 it's true. Natural instinct is to floor it when you think you are about to get stuck

@@buddysshop1860 can’t fault them for it, especially if they’ve never encountered such a thing before. Learning about air intakes etc isn’t a requirement for a learners license after all

Well, in this case risk is not that high, beacuse Lambos have engine on the rear.

@@kissland2789 I still wouldn’t risk it if I had one 🤷‍♂️

To be fair the water is not that deep and is fine as long as driven properly

@@kissland2789 mid engine, not rear

This is not a flood. This is a ford. It always has water crossing the road. Sometimes it is just deeper.

rear engined lambo with air intakes at the bag, only thing in the front is the boot.

@@hassan123456killa You added absolutely nothing to OPs comment. He literally said the same thing.

What they didn't anticipate is that it's built like a sieve and will let water in the cabin just about everywhere.

@@leebenstead7171 again good entry speed any pushed right through meaning the water was pushed away if you know how to drive through water you know what I'm talking about

@@hassan123456killa the gallardo is mid engine not rear engine

He did it…as a joke hahaha.

It's a ford. The water is usually nothing more than a puddle.

@yossarian Never heard of that, tbh.. I'd have some questions if people around be thought a wet exhaust would kill a car

@yossarian I'm embarrassed to say I was one of them, until I saw these videos and the attached comments. Very appreciative of some of the info I get off RU-vid.

@yossarian That's not true, particularly for diesels. A large quantity of cold water going into the exhaust will cause thermal shock and crack the catalysts and DPF particularly. Not to mention, sand and silt getting into these components will cause clogging and permanently create an obstruction.

@@DMAX-tp4pc interesting comment. I don't know how or indeed if that would work in the uk but I do know that insurers this side of the pond are very good at taking your money but also very good at avoiding a payout. In this instance I would guess that if you were local the insurers would say that you should've known better and if you lived a long way away they would probably want to know why you were on a country lane miles from home. I think your best chance of getting away with it would be if you drove through it at night, you could then argue that you were on an unfamiliar road and in the darkness had no idea how deep it was until it was to later, even more plausible if you could say that there were other vehicles driving through it?

How about the lack of common sense to build a bridge right there for vehicles

and aspire water

I didn't get it... 😕

watercooling is best u kno

German engineering at its finest!!!

@@markroberts3400 basically if you open the top of your filter box it will bypass a snorkel that points 90° down it should give you at least you better chance of getting across.

@@MrAndrei4777 some cars intakes scoop the air from underneath the car because it's cooler (as in temperature) that's why his car stalled. He choked it out.

Heh. Yeah, no.

That’s true, the 2010+ had that feature

@@revolutionday1 *YEEEEEESSSSSS*

The engine intakes aren't on the sides, they're on top of the rear fenders. The side vents are for the rear brakes.

He was also smart taking it slow, not allowing a bunch of water to build up and flow over the front of the car. Plus it looked like the water was not that high.

Glad you enjoy 😎

The s class lost its plate.

The other route is short and easy - this is a well known local ford - and I think many people make a point of driving through it because it's fun, until it goes wrong.

maybe they cant turn around while everyone is watching.. must be more shameful than killing the car..

@@LashlayDS9 I wouldn't give two tosses about people watching. I'm driving my car, not them. If I see that level of water, I'm shoving the car in reverse and going back up the road.

People are naturally lazy that’s why they can’t be bothered to find an alternative route. If their vehicle is ruined then it serves them right. Tbh I’ve got no sympathy for them.

Nothing better than to drive through the Ford in a Ford

How it's driven I guess

The air intake tubing inside the engine bay isn’t very secure where it connects to the wing, there could have been an opening that got a load of water thrown in it.

Going through it is fine. When you have no clue how to drive through water, not so much.

As Dan R said......it's about driving attitude. Its the same in heavy rain, snow, ice, fog, night time.......idiots try to drive way beyond the conditions, and their own abilities. Fords and floods are no different.....

I really don’t understand why people genuinely think that foot the floor will help them get through water - you can tell the 2 or 3 that have obviously had good experience with driving through deeper water.

Talvez porque o Renegade tem eletrônicos?!

There are plenty of signs warning them that there’s a ford ahead and when it’s really deep there’s a big sign saying the road is closed. They are responsible for what they are doing, nobody else.

​@@Jabber-ig3iw are the authorities getting involved in break downs here? would be a good place to collect fines for creating environmental hazards.

I don't think on modern cars with disc brakes it's that necessary, I think old drum brakes were more affected by this sort of thing.

@@chriswalker83cw famous last words… I’ve certainly experienced it with my disk brakes. Also it doesn’t hurt to check. Just pushing the pads onto the disk squeezes the water out.
