[QUOTE="Ryou, post: 566899, member: 23257"] sry to hear about your problems bro, but you really shoudlnt be attempting to drive with water level pass your numberplate, hope your can can be fixed with minimal cost tips for driving tru floods -if u have no choice, switch to lowest gear, never take your foot off the accelerator, if u keep constant pressure then water will not back flow into your exhaust if water level is higher then exhaust outlet - do not speed and try to rush tru the flooded area, going fast creates a bow wave that increase the water level (i was with Ford, we had 3 Rangers disabled when journos rushed into a shallow river and the bow wave created destroyed the radiator fans) - if your car dies in middle of flooded street, DO NOT attempt to restart the car...doing so will just cause your car to further ingest more water. get out and try to get help to push your car to one side if u come back and find your car in flooded area...leave the car there if water is above bumper level...it will be fine once its dried out..if u try to start it, u kill your engine [/QUOTE]
