Baha--knee Deep

[mike_vb11]

If possible use the lowest gear. Do not step on the clutch. Do not rev too much, keep it between1,000-1,300 rpm, drive slow and as long as you are moving forward you're ok. High reving, especially on an engine mounted fan, would just scoop water into the engine bay spraying water into your distributor, coils and sparkplugs. An indication that that water is more than half a tire deep is the absence of a "thug, thug" sound in your flooring. It means the water has reached the underside of your car. Best to let a car pass and see how deep the water is. If in doubt, don't. My truck can ford waist deep water but unless it is really necessary I would think twice, coz taking out the carpet could be a real pain in the back. :D

-->>Ahh! thats why my dad long ago was too sLow when crossing a flooded street when i was little. even though the flood is just half-tire deep, ang bagal nya tumakbo,,heheh,,another knowledge learned.
di naman often na ngayayari yung katulad kay lady_guinevere pics Righhht??,, just a thought, can i seal the ECU,dipstick,hole in the transmision,etc and extended them to an higher location? plus improvise a hidden safari snorkel during rainy seasons?? hehe just a thought,feasible??

You cannot seal the ECU. The best you could do is know where it is located so you know how deep you can go.

On a Nissan Sentra the ECU sits on the hump on the floor before the center console so you'd need to have water up the handbrakes to fry it. On a gas-powered Pajero, the ECU is on behind the glovebox (high and dry), on most Isuzus the ECU is in the engine compartment (be careful), on a Fortuner it is under the driver's seat.

The dipstick is reasonably sealed (check if your dipstick has a gasket). And more often than not, the dipstick opening is about the level of the tires already. The breather can be extended using rubber hoses. Off-roaders have been doing it for years. For a manual transmission with the shifter directly entering the transmission body, there is really no practical way to seal that entry point.

Stock air intake systems will have safeguards against water ingestion. Just know where the intake draws air from (some draw beside the headlight, in the wheelwell, from the bumper etc.). At least you'll have an idea how deep the vehicle can go.

Good thing you found this, many of us can learn here. Last month, I forged ahead in flood water. The following day, the brakes are making abnormal sounds. I had it cleaned and the sounds went away.

Mabuti hindi ka nawalan ng preno nung basa.

Ngayon protocol ko talaga is to switch on the hazard lights & dry the brakes after going through water. A driver following behind me worth his/her salt would understand and know what I'm doing.

Yung mga engot: "Why does this guy keep tapping his brakes? Businahan ko nga!" The hazard lights should be a warning in itself na nga eh. Sa sobrang takot masingitan, tutok ng tutok... hay naku.
