Tips For Water Wading: Driving Through Flooded Roads

[Suryaputhra]

Re: Maruti Suzuki Ertiga: Petrol vs Diesel

@kkn13, water is not compressible so more you force the engine more damage, hydro lock happens in milliseconds if you force the car more damage. Hydro lock is very very serious phenomenon without knowing proper engineering technical details advising fellow members with wrong info and advice is very serious threat to members of the fourm and to their cars if someone follows your advice.

wow so by your logic, people should not rev the car in 1st gear without using clutch fully and not brake mildly at slow speed in water?!!
So you expect people to go into water logged areas as normal and stall their cars thus damaging their engines

revving under hydrolock is only dangerous if air intake gets water in it.......
how do you expect to prevent hydrolock by silencer then?!
Also how am I "misguiding"?? I posted proper proof in the links prior, in fact this is a universally known method to wade through water using 1st gear and revs to prevent hydrolock via silencer, air intake is much rarer and unlikely to occur because 90% of people will probably cause it via silencer first not air intake which is placed much higher and in the bonnet
I seriously cannot believe this, Im sorry to say

[thinking]


So why dont you elaborate what you expect people to do since you claim to be a "engineer" who knows this phenomenon by heart
Also this is , make a new thread
sorry mods for any inconvenience

Re: Maruti Suzuki Ertiga: Petrol vs Diesel

@kkn13 One can not stop water entering into silencer if water level above it by forcing the car in 1st gear.

If water enters silencer level probably catalytic converter is damaged, ECM reads improper catalytic converter feedback and shuts off engine and enters into fail safe mode. This happens when car running.

You mentioned "1. Water will enter silencer and possibly air intake". Air intake is different and exhaust is different".

If water enters through silencer it goes through all the way catalyic converter, exhaust manifold and enters into engine head there by valves, valve guides etc this happens when car is parked.

If water enters through Air intake it goes through electronic throttle valve thereby intake manifold .

Can not teach engineering from basics. I am not ""to be a "engineer"" I am a post graduate in Mechanical Engineer holding M.tech in Industrial Management.

well then your english is poor, Im sorry to say, I never implied 1st gear prevents water from entering air intake, I said it prevents stalling of the engine which in turn can cause suction of water through the silencer when rpm drops
I never said Air Intake and Exhaust are the same

Also if you want respect, learn to read comments and respect them instead of attacking pls
I dont appreciate being attacked and words put into my mouth even though I said something completely different and you implied something totally different
Most people on our roads hydrolock by silencer most of the time , very rare to hydrolock via air intake since its placed very high
I dont need to be an engineer to understand this, I have spent a good amount of km driving in tough conditions and even owned a Thar at one point

I suggest you read my previous comments with a cool mind before posting pls

@kkn13 The quoted words which are highlighted by me are written by you not by me. Check your post below

If you want you can refer all our posts to moderators they will decide who is attacking whom and misguiding fellow members, they will take necessary action.

You obviously arent interpretting my posts properly
I dont wish to discuss an off topic subject here which was wrong in the first place

Theres no misguiding when you arent understanding what the person in front is trying to say

This article and several other similar articles I had gone through many times. If it is off topic here open new thread we will discuss to the core there.
