    to think I always regulate speed using clutch kung baha dun sa 4 dr sedan ko, kasi you need to keep the revs up para hindi pumasok sa tambutso, buti nalang wala pang damage
    Tanong lang po, hindi ba't hindi naman makakarating sa engine ang tubig makapasok sa tambutso kasi exhaust lang naman ito? Di ba ang intake e sa air filter kaya ang delikado e kung ito ang mapasukan ng tubig? Di ba iyon ang purpose ng snorkel, ang hindi makapasok sa air filter ang tubig?

    FrankDrebin,

    Yep. Actually sa mga Montero owners (V6 A/T) ko una natutunan na hindi naman pala basta basta mamamatay ang engine underwater. Submerged bumper deep and they were still posing for pictures. :mrgreen:

    mbt,

    Siguro. Basta masama talaga mag-clutch underwater. Kung mamamatay, I don't know. When I tried it with the Cruiser (I-4 gas, carb), hindi namatay. hehehe.

    hindi po kaya ng pressurize water pag sinaksak mo sa muffler while idle ang engine. ibubuga pa rin ng muffler ang tubig palabas. eh sa baha mahina naman ang pressure kaya no problem. unless you're 100m deep. :mrgreen:

    Ang alam kong masama ay yung possibility that you're car is submerge deep enough that the water will get in where it shouldn't be.....me breather din sa differential, sa tranny and sa gas tank which are usually just protruding tubes (minsan merong "one-way" valve, minsan wala) na pedend daanan ng tubig.

    That's why they recommend that you also check your tranny and differential oils pag napadaan ka sa baha baka nagkatubig kasi.

    my 2 cents.
