will water fording damage your engine?

hindi yung pinasok ng tubig yung engine.

kasi we usually hear, not to wash your engine when it's hot, since the sudden change of temp might damage your engine.

or are diesel engines immune to this?

alam ko - not to pour water in a radiator of an overheated engine that is not running. it might or will crack your engine block. You should be concern if the water enters your intake manifold through your air filter housing. No problem with the muffler as diesel engine can idle even if the muffler is underwater (see my avatar). :wink:

hybrid,

Never pa naman may nangyaring masama sa amin while fording although hindi nga recommended dahil sa sudden drop in temperature. Even the axles and tranny are hot.

Don't worry so much. Hindi naman mag-flood suddenly into the engine compartment yung water when you ford.

Mas importantend hindi pasukin ang intake mo.
