But bud, the water is up to the rocker panels on a 25-50k car, just don't. Even if you can avoid ingesting water or have an EV, you're risking taking on water and permanently water damaging the whole car.

The lady in the Cooper is so clueless that she kept trying to start that car after it clearly hydrolocked!
The car wasn't hydrolocked. She probably has water I the intake which I preventing proper ignition of the fuel. If it was hydrolocked the car would not crank at all.
Ngl as a kid growing up I always thought that stepping on the gas pedal just opens a valve to let more fuel into the engine. Had no idea that it's actually the throttle body opening up to let more air in.
Car is still in drive, and the engine is hydrolocked. You cam hear from her trying to start it later on that its fully siezed. Theres a tiny bit of play in the rear differential /driveline so the rear left that had a bit more traction which makes the rear right rotate backwards a tiny bit due to how an open differential works
Hydro-planing and Aqua planing are the terms for going into an uncontrollable skid at high speed on a wet road Hydro-locked is the correct term for getting water into a running engine and ruining it.
That BMW at the start was actually hydro-planing, but only because they were lucky enough for the water just to reach no higher than the front air-dam/spoiler, which lifted the front up most of the way through! Could say dam-lucky!?!
Hydroplaning is controllable if you know your tyres and exact speed they start to lift from grip. Huge stretch used to flood near me every year and dad used to hit this longest puddle at well over a 100 most surreal/scary feeling 😅
@@owenlangley3480 Exactly! In fact there's a group of racers in Iceland who drive powerful buggies across the top of shallow lakes when the weather is calm! The rest of the time they climb steep hill-sides in the same vehicles!

This channel is surprisingly very interesting. Every car that crossed was a brand new test. BTW, I bet that 90% of the subscribers are men. We love this stuff
@@M4mba98 Well the logic is if you rev it high enough it will be suck more air + (water) to the intake, in this case his tryin to not flooded the exhaust so he slippin the clutch
For the car owners that don't bother to learn how cars work and what not to do with cars. Your engine sucks in air usually near the front grille, mixes the air with a mist of fuel and then compresses it before burning the mixture to turn the engine which turns the wheels and the burnt mixture then gets pushed out the exhaust. Gases are compressible but water isn't so if you suck in water into the engine through the front grille, when the engine tries to compress it, it usually results in catastrophic damage to the internal components of the engine that are responsible for the compression. In most cases, you will need a whole new engine if this happens but if you are lucky then a very expensive repair of the engine. Watching that Mini driver turn the starter after the engine died was painful since that turned from possibly an expensive repair to engine replacement.
9:30 Notice how the guy in the VW tippy toes through the water with it barely coming up as far as his bumper. No drama, no damage. In the words of Mr Punch "That's the way to do it!" 😀😀😀

@@peanuts2105 who said they arent lol obviously you think theyre nicer than average if you are shitting on them when nobody said anything lol stay poor
Because its actually the best way to cross it. It keeps the water in front of the car and causes a cavity of air near the air intake. Going slow or stopping is the worst thing you can do
@@brucetec6597 Then why do they keep getting hydro locked when they do it? Because that's bullshit a speeding through water will not cause a cavity of air to form in front of your intake. All that water going up over the hood, it's gonna get sucked in. The intake is going to eat that cavity of air because it need to breathe or the engine will shut down. That's why off road vehicle have mods like snorkels. You need to keep moving, but you need to drive slowly and steadily, around 3 or 4 mph.
@@brucetec6597Wrong, speed is not your friend with water crossings. Basically you should enter it slowly and create a bow wave to push the water away, if you go to quick it simply goes in the air induction system. Perfect example, first Mini estate = too fast, second one, perfect.
@@torresthemonsterIt stops the water from being pushed higher and reduces (but does not eliminate) the chance of water being sucked into the air filter and then into the engine. But, even if water is below the air intake, there is still danger to oil seals and other miscellaneous components (e.g. hydraulic lines, dip sticks, electrics) for as long as the vehicle is submerged. Which is why you should never buy a car that has been flood damaged; even if that car was never actually driven through floodwaters.

I guarantee you wouldn’t have a clue how to get it out of park in that situation. You can’t disengage park with the engine off in BMW cars (safety reasons) You have to try and ‘start’ the engine, then when it refuses (because it’s siezed), the car will place itself into neutral gear 👍

@@cooldaddyslick6869 if the engine won't start in any Audi A6, A8, q7 made in the last ten years, you're stuck as well. Same with jaguar, most Volkswagen's. So no, your wrong. Fortunately with BMW's, you have to attempt to start the engine, and when it won't start (obviously), the car realises it needs to be towed and if you held the shifter in neutral while trying to start. It's bing bong and then pop into neutral. Actually easier to do than an Audi, JLR and VW/Skoda. You have to start removing chunks of the cupholders to access an emergency release in them. Even with the ignition on
People have to be responsible for their own actions, if your dumb enough to drive thru deep water then that's on you. Why do you need someone you don't even know to tell you to stop? School does not teach ya everything in life so self education is a must after school. Also to be fair there is a sign with numbers on it right there telling them how deep it is yet they choose to drive thru it anyway. 🤷♂
Fords ain’t like roundabouts .. they aren’t everywhere, and most of the time it’s an alternative route that you don’t have to drive through because there’s another way without a ford that’s barely a 5 minute detour
3:07, while crossing this is still not very smart, this driver was the smartest one here, knew it's car's size, kept it below the intake. Might have saved some time but it's still not worth it though..
Insurance will not pay for this it’s avoidable. Insurer’s look at every conceivable way to avoid paying even the smallest of claims. I was refused an insurance claim because my terms said I needed to notify my insurance company within 24 hours of any potential incident. Because I was honest & told them it was a few days before & I hadn’t gotten around to it they flat out refused my claim under the terms that I’d broken my terms & conditions with them. What chances have these people got when they say to their insurance companies they drove through a river @ 20mph causing a bow wave Poseidon himself would be proud of.
@@Matty12333 Depends on the car most new cars are either fleet, finance or leased so it’s not like they’re rich enough to by an engine. If it’s a company fleet car you could also lose your job I knew one guy who didn’t check his oil & the engine seized that lost his job & another for missing a service interval & the engine failed he also lost his job. It’s way more than people think it’s just an engine. Engines for new cars are crazy money even fitting used engines can be crazy money.
idk their reasoning but from inside driving their brain would instantly think that passing the water fast would get them away from it the best which is literally the opposite
The wheel is spinning backwards because the differential is locked in place by the powertrain and most of the weight is on the opposite wheel (which is spinning forward). The same thing happens if you lift the car and turn one of the drive wheels by hand.
Most drivers must be idiots. Slamming your car into water (unless built for it) is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. These folks obviously know the road and this shouldn't be their first rodeo... why would you ever try to fly thru standing water. You make a 6" deep water become 3 feet deep covering your entire car (and sucking it right into the engine thru the airbox). Just go real nice and slow and you'll be fine. The damn car isn't floating away in water that's basically standing still. It just pains me to see this -> where the Dads and husbands (and educated women) explaining how to drive to their kids and significant others?

There are some questions came to my mind. 1) Is crossing the road full of water the only road there is or are there alternatives. 2) Why is the road lower than the rest of it? 3) Why are there no bridge for vehicle?
Why even ONE car would even THINK about going through there is beyond my understanding. Why 20 cars went though there is beyond belief and just absolute stupidity
Instead of filming you could just tell them to go slower.. why help them afterwards when the whole car is totaled and film them? Proceeding to "help" them.. squeezing content from dumb people.

@@ZeerakImran a manual handbrake will only be better if youre unskilled and stupid enough to hydrolock a car. an aelectric handbrake is MUCH better at, well, STOPPING the car.
The sheer amount of people who don't know where there intake is on their cars then send it into the water in this video is insane
What would the intake be then and for what? I would expect most of these people have no idea what goes on under the bonnet of a car. This is the UK where people swell with pride telling you they do knot know these things as it demonstrates their high status. They have others to cope with such mundane boring necessities of life. I have experienced this attitude so many times socially and in the work place over the years.
@@michaeld5888nice insight, thanks for sharing it.
1:20 lost his license plate :D
The 3-series at 3:07 is the only car to transit this correctly. And that VW Bus at 6:38 is beautiful. Too bad we don't have them in the USA.
The puddle wasn't that deep for the 3 series actually.
yeah, I was about to write he was the first one with any sense 🙄
range rover drivers are complete bellends.
4:00 "I didn't realise it was as deep as it is..."
Just casually ignoring the huge sign that shows you how deep the water is long before you drive in.
#1:50 ahhhhh the sound of lost compression 😂😂😂😂😂
7:23 It could clearly make it, but the nutjob had to go fast.
Did she even know how to put it in neutral?
It's locked in P can't be in N
No, its locked in gear Not in P. And if they're too dumb to find the Workshop Settings you need a tow truck with Auto gearbox
@@BenBieb "too dumb to find the workshop settings"... its called shift-lock release and almost nobody knows how to unlock it cause you have to pull out the gear-lever casing/pannel... YOU dont know if its locked in gear cause it depends on the moment it got locked, if SHE turned it off it would be locked on park if the car turned off itself by a malfunction would be locked on the last gear it was... And just for you to know, towtrucks ignore the shift-lock release and pull the car without using it, it does NOT hurt the transmission...
@@BenBiebunfortunately when loss of power such as engine off gearbox locks into Park. Only way to neutral is to get under the car
@@jameswrp 9 times out of 10 there is a simple switch under the boot of the gearstick, disengages the locking solenoid and allows the car to be put in N. no need to get under the car
If you see a group of people with cameras next to a flooded street, it probably isn't the best idea to drive through.
The billowing white smoke is a good sign that the rings are getting a good proper washing....😂🤣

Someone should open an auto shop around
3:14 this guy definetly knows how to bring a flat car through high water. not his 1st time on this bridge xd
Omg 4:38 it being in park is killing me it's making me cringe so hard PLEASEE
I guarantee you wouldn’t have a clue how to get it out of park in that situation. You can’t disengage park with the engine off in BMW cars (safety reasons)
You have to try and ‘start’ the engine, then when it refuses (because it’s siezed), the car will place itself into neutral gear 👍

@@aidan1585 So you can't just turn the ignition on and place it in neutral, like every other car in existence?
@@cooldaddyslick6869 if the engine won't start in any Audi A6, A8, q7 made in the last ten years, you're stuck as well. Same with jaguar, most Volkswagen's. So no, your wrong.
Fortunately with BMW's, you have to attempt to start the engine, and when it won't start (obviously), the car realises it needs to be towed and if you held the shifter in neutral while trying to start. It's bing bong and then pop into neutral. Actually easier to do than an Audi, JLR and VW/Skoda. You have to start removing chunks of the cupholders to access an emergency release in them. Even with the ignition on
2:21 it’s a “mini squirrel” now!😅
Because of this woman, they prob ruined the sharan
nothing wrong with the sharan
@@mrk2938 sharan is not made for towing vehicles with spinning wheels, let alone a series 3 BMW using the engine as a brake
@@branca0907 the clutch probably got a bit of abuse, but nothing else major was done wrong to it.
@@branca09074 series. Also it isn’t her fault, you can’t disengage park with the engine off by using the shifter
Sharan was made in 2001, it's obviously well proven if it's lasted that long
Thats 30cm of water !!! About 0.9 of a foot. Drive slowly and your fine.
Rather than warming people of the danger, these people film their misfortune. Horrible human beings.
Classic psychopaths
@Matty12333 in this day and age , I'd bet if one was on fire, rather than putting it out, people probably film it rather than call emergency services.
I was thinking the same. A bunch of idiots filming.
People have to be responsible for their own actions, if your dumb enough to drive thru deep water then that's on you. Why do you need someone you don't even know to tell you to stop? School does not teach ya everything in life so self education is a must after school. Also to be fair there is a sign with numbers on it right there telling them how deep it is yet they choose to drive thru it anyway. 🤷♂
It´s not like the people don´t know that deep water and ICE cars don´t match well.
And it keeps the mechanics busy
5:59 awww bless he’s got the little M-Sport grill fins
Kinda stupidly designed roads in the UK gotta say.
To the Bri'i'ish, this is just anotha Chewsday
Fords ain’t like roundabouts .. they aren’t everywhere, and most of the time it’s an alternative route that you don’t have to drive through because there’s another way without a ford that’s barely a 5 minute detour
Driving though a ford is risky
ladies and gents, what we've determined from this video is that cars and water do not mix 😂
Slow or fast, this high of a water is not meant to be crossed by non-specialized vehicles.
3:07, while crossing this is still not very smart, this driver was the smartest one here, knew it's car's size, kept it below the intake. Might have saved some time but it's still not worth it though..
No wonder the insurance over there is crazy 😂😂
Insurance will not pay for this it’s avoidable. Insurer’s look at every conceivable way to avoid paying even the smallest of claims. I was refused an insurance claim because my terms said I needed to notify my insurance company within 24 hours of any potential incident. Because I was honest & told them it was a few days before & I hadn’t gotten around to it they flat out refused my claim under the terms that I’d broken my terms & conditions with them. What chances have these people got when they say to their insurance companies they drove through a river @ 20mph causing a bow wave Poseidon himself would be proud of.
Am sure these people can afford new engines or cars.
@@Matty12333 Depends on the car most new cars are either fleet, finance or leased so it’s not like they’re rich enough to by an engine. If it’s a company fleet car you could also lose your job I knew one guy who didn’t check his oil & the engine seized that lost his job & another for missing a service interval & the engine failed he also lost his job. It’s way more than people think it’s just an engine. Engines for new cars are crazy money even fitting used engines can be crazy money.
Eco-friendly undercarriage washing in a natural river - the fish and nature must be thrilled!
Is there any reason to go fast through this? Wouldn’t walking pace give you
The highest chance of success?
idk their reasoning but from inside driving their brain would instantly think that passing the water fast would get them away from it the best which is literally the opposite
2:00 That moment when your ICE vehicle turns into a Steam Engine
if you hydro lock do your wheels spin backwards?
WTF is going on a 4:40 ?
BMWs lock themselves in gear
The wheel is spinning backwards because the differential is locked in place by the powertrain and most of the weight is on the opposite wheel (which is spinning forward).
The same thing happens if you lift the car and turn one of the drive wheels by hand.
Most drivers must be idiots. Slamming your car into water (unless built for it) is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. These folks obviously know the road and this shouldn't be their first rodeo... why would you ever try to fly thru standing water. You make a 6" deep water become 3 feet deep covering your entire car (and sucking it right into the engine thru the airbox). Just go real nice and slow and you'll be fine. The damn car isn't floating away in water that's basically standing still. It just pains me to see this -> where the Dads and husbands (and educated women) explaining how to drive to their kids and significant others?
the gran coupe 4 series was on park!!!!
always with the blonds
You couldn’t put it in neutral either. You can see she tried to put it in neutral but nobody knows or either told her that it doesn’t go into neutral with the engine off
Honest question, all of combustion cars in the video, if they decided to go backwards would they have the same problem?
jesus - F'n build a damn bridge... WTF

Mini for sale one careful lady owner!
RIP BMW X-Drive
It’s rwd but it was locked in park. It wouldn’t go into neutral
5:00 the “air filter” .😂😂
The mini at 1:38 was amazing. “ every time I try to start my car the noises it makes gets worse. Best keep trying then”
4:20 - hahahah, wtf. Its so difficult to think and put it in Neutral? xD
You can’t put the gearbox into neutral with the engine off
@@aidan1585 lmao, of course you can. In BMW you click quickly 3 times start button without pressing brake pedal and then switch to neutral. Every car brand has his own „procedure to do it”. Car needs a bit of electricity do switch to neutral and that’s it.
@jaworq but how many people know this unnecessary procedure or would think to read the manual in such a stressful situation? I wouldn't call _her_ stupid for that, it's the engineers that designed it this way! I thought automatic transmissions were supposed to be EASIER to use than manuals! 🤨🤯🤦♂️
@@LRM12o8 im not calling her stupid. Some ppl just like to know their cars and some just treat it as a tool to use and not care about it too much.
There are some questions came to my mind.
1) Is crossing the road full of water the only road there is or are there alternatives.
2) Why is the road lower than the rest of it?
3) Why are there no bridge for vehicle?
the stupidity hurts
would driving backwards help, since the water wouldnt be pushed up higher up the front into the intake?
Did the Tesla catch fire a week later?
no , it is perfectly fine...
Sorry to tell you that teslas do the best in these videos, except for there front plates lol.
2:37 him coming back slower this time hahahaha
Different car
@@yaboybert_2077 Oh shoot you're right
Long as nothing is bent you should be able to pull the sparkplugs out and turn the car over to evacuate the water out the cylinders
Why even ONE car would even THINK about going through there is beyond my understanding. Why 20 cars went though there is beyond belief and just absolute stupidity
I love how that Mini began to sound like an upset dolphin.
Instead of filming you could just tell them to go slower.. why help them afterwards when the whole car is totaled and film them? Proceeding to "help" them.. squeezing content from dumb people. Of course its their fault if they dont know that but common that poor woman didnt even put it in neutral wtf? At LEAST do that for her. Why the f is there such a big puddle in the first place??? couple sheets of wood and thats it. Not thousands and thousands of broken cars.
No surprise the range rovers made it through easily. They are amphibious exploring vehicles with precision air intake valves after all
I would expect them to be good or I would want my money back!
Took a Sport through a river this year, it didn't break a sweat.
lady getting pulled out stil has her car in park..... how do some people get licenses.......
Some people don't deserve cars if they can't show basic care. Puts you off buying second hand cars.
Whilst i enjoy watching these vids as much as the next man, it does make me think why these folk filming couldn't just give the heads up to the drivers, "hey mate probably go around or slow down here, I've just watched 5 cars kill themselves through it"
A tow truck business would be a winner there! There was a quirky bit of road near a small settlement in the North Island. There was a small garage with a petrol/ diesel pump and a tow truck! My goodness the tow truck out-competed with the rest of the business on the financials!
They say there is one born every minute!
BMW = low air intake. Just about every video like this has BMWs hydrolocking, you'd think owners would realise by now
the land rover at 1:20 lost his license plate in the water haha
@3:54 Imagine telling her, “You can’t park there m8!” 😂
