ako dati sentra s3, sa may buendia halos sa bumper na ang baha, lumusot pa din, pero mukhang tinamaan yata ng tubig baha yung mga belts ko, kaya umingay...
technique..
-always stay on first gear
-always rev, half clutch
-patay ang aircon , so that your car can gain more power
-as much as possible ,drive slowly, but wag kang titigil para ndi pasukan ng tubig tambucho mo..
- pag nakalusot ka sa baha, always step on the brakes para tumuyo agad yung mga brake pads !!!
-pag tumirik, patulak ka na lang, ang wag na pilitin istart yung car...bka masira yung computer box...or anu anu pa . $$$$ nanaman:mrgreen:

> ... no problem here, sabi ng mga owner ng pick-ups, suv, auv, etc , panis!

not really. kelangan pa rin alagaan ang mga diffs... daming suv owners na iniisip submarine sasakyan nila at hindi tinitignan kung may halo nang tubig yung diff oil nila.

did it once too. south superhighway nung hindi pa gawa. 3/4 na ng gulong yung tubig, car is mitsu glx na singkit. alang aircon, alang radio, mataas ang rpm, mga 1 kms, tapos ginigitgit pa ako ng mga bus. naka survive naman. nakalimutan ko lang ipa underwash pagkatapos so kinalawang lahat ng mga joints.

After taking your car "swimming" get an underwash and greasing after the rains... If you went through and survived really deep floods, its also adviseable to change the tranny fluid, and brake fluid to make sure na hindi na-contaminate.

whew... salamat at naka-lusot kayong lahat sa baha

salamat sa mga tips mga bossing...

pag nag-swimming kami ng kotse ko, underwash lang ako sa kanto ng pressurized water... anu pa dapat ipa-check/linis dun? ... gear oil, brake pads, etc...

hmmm. before in my 1975 MB 200.. bagong tuneup.. made the mistake of taking shaw-boni circle... bahang baha pala.. went through it.. engine revving... went through it.. water bow was almost hitting my hood.... car almost stalled.. saw the kids rushing to me... was able to catch the engine before dying.. revved harder... no A/C no Radio no nothing... went through half of the circle... grabe.. takot ko nun!... nakaraos naman.. the next day brought it back to the shop for inspection. ehehe. ok naman...

so far.. ngayon. pinakamalalim na dinadaanan ko is half of my tires. (for my wagon)
