[QUOTE="Volvos525i, post: 675815, member: 36056"] Good day to alls UDM owmner including me a newbie here... Just to share some experience regarding during heavy down pour... This happened during working day in Ford Consses.. A Mazda same models as Ford Telstar...this car the air intake pipe is just above beside the radiator tank... This car owwned by a Singaporian drive thru some flood waters in Mersing suddenly coming from the front another car a japs... so the wave from the coming car quite high and the water splash on this mazda so after a while the car stall... tow the car to Ford Kuntan and we do inspection found that water have enter the intake manifold stall the engine... Lucky the driver did not try to start the engine so the damaged not so harm... the damaged parts replace all the valves,cylinder head gasket,spark plug,engine oil and fillter and the ATF also... very little damage bcox the driver did not try to start the engine since he new the circumstances if try to start the engine after entering water ponds and the car stalled... the next day the car was out of the workshop...total cost around rm2k... So moral of the story please do not....please do not try go try ponds of water or even low flood... Further more if the intake vent is to low in this BMW... just my 3 cents...cheers...:wink: [/QUOTE]
