Or the dealerships for new cars.

I rather suspect that their level of mechanical ignorance would prevent their understanding the cause and significance of a hydraulic lock on their engine's internals.

Is a hydro-locked engine almost always a write-off?

@@OFFtheCHIZANE The effect of pistons coming to a dead stop in milliseconds from several hundred or thousands of RPM, as they try to compress the incompressible, throws enormous stresses onto the connecting rods as they try to absorb the kinetic energy stored in the crankshaft, flywheel and transmission, not to mention inertia of a ton and a half or more of vehicle and passengers, resulting in their being bent or broken. Broken rods most likely will mean engine block write-off, crankshaft damage etc.

I think that you need to distinguish between growing older and gaining maturity; often the choice of vehicle indicates a failure in the latter area of achievement. 😄

Your Connecting rods who?

Time for a new engine

@@nevillebloodybartos You connecting rods are connected to engine heaven.

Yeah, sounded like it only gulped a little water judging by the steam, then had a bunch left over in the intake. Had he let it dry, sprayed some water dispersant on the spark plugs. Hed have driven home

I think the car tried to restart itself the first time, going by how quickly it started cranking. But had he not tried a second time, it may have been OK.

@@andrewcoetzee8858 lol you are definitely not a mechanic

@@Phil-1969 lol okay mate. Sure open the spark plugs and release the wheels from the lock and pump in out that way. Happy?

@@andrewcoetzee8858 no no no, you clearly pump it out through the plastic cover in the engine bay, usisng a special tool

That was almost mean! 😂

Why aren't they surprised.

You should have told him that before he entered the water!

I didn’t tell him 😂

£16 sounds about right.

The ruining has already occurred.....

And again and again and again

Think of all the money this ford has put into the economy. Repairs and new cars.

Actually, it didn't "cost" millions, it put millions into the local car repair economy ;-)

My conspiracy theory is that the guy who designed this road was friends with the local mechanic that didn't have much business

​@@JohnBrown-xf4mv And horses got hydro-locked in the old days too.

The car @ 2:00 made me cringe BIG time, that sound. Ouch!

No.

Why a bridge and do the local repair shops out of a lot of income. Being stupid pays often to the benefit of others

🤣🤣

You don't think insurers check on KZfaq first if they get a possible hydrolocked engine that occurs in this area ? Yeah, he actually drove through slowly, we'll honour their cover. Oh wait, he washed the water up over the car roof . . . on your own boy.

I think they can afford it, otherwise ppl would not drive there.

Yeh isn't it awesome to laugh at other people's misfortune? /s

I'm fairly certain the insurers will pay on a fully comprehensive policy (you've had it on Third Party Fire & Theft of course - but who has that any more)- in the same way as if you damage any other aspect of your car by your own accident, with no-one else involved. However, having 'got away' - if you do - with the potential thousands of costs on engine repairs/replacement - or whole car written off, the financial 'damage' is longer term and a bit gut wrenching for your stupidity in trying to make your car or van a boat!. Loss of a 'life' on protected no claims bonus - or - loss of no claims bonus if it's not protected (ouch - very expensive at renewal) - and in event of either of foregoing, you have to declare the claim and the amount paid on trying to get alternative quotes at renewal - more pain and expense that will haunt you for some years!

​@@stuinNorway no adjuster is going to watch every god damned video of cars driving across the ford.

actually sounded like he broke an axle or the transmission, the engine still was fine.. kinda weird tho that it broke just like that

Bet an engine for that thing is 10K too.

@@Markycarandbikestuff could be much more than that too

But now your sucking in hot air from inside the engine bay. Maybe the best compromise would be to keep the factory cold air intake and not drive through fords like a madman ;-)

@@SBT300 Now he's right, many modern cars are designed with no interest in your problems later, using a low air intake that can suck water from a small puddle. Especially BMW...

Just saw this. Good common sense against the planned obsolescence that seems the norm today.

Not daftest position, its called a cold air feed from the top of the open grill. These people get all they deserve. Showing off. No sympathy at all.

You beat me to it! I mean what a stupid place to put an air intake, at the front of a car pointing forwards! These people are nuts!

Oh sorry he thought he was piloting a submarine LOL😂

yes, bmw have some stupid designs. But this, the problem is between the seat and steering wheel.

🤣🤣

@@Align700nitro I'm a bit biased, but i think the first thing partially causes the second.

Some of them sure do find it funny, odd behaviour!

2:14 it’s a corsa

I wouldnt even advise trying to crank it with hydrolock. They need to take the wet filter out, pull all the plugs and then turn the engine over..hopefully. they havent fried any electric parts. Or caused damage.

I'd also like to see a panel of judges sitting there awarding style and execution points on the weekend 😂

@Retired Bore Qu'ils mangent de la brioche )

@Retired Borein the last 30 years, we've got a debt bubble, and the world full of big children, who only want to push gas to become successful faster )

most of that will be steam forming from water running into the tailpipe. that's why it's advised to keep speed 'down' and revs 'up.'

@@kathrynwhitby9799 Sure, but it also associated with a lot of cars that don't run again afterwards!

@@kathrynwhitby9799 Nope, that's water that has gone through the engine.

It was a diesel, not that precious.

@@PointNemo9 rather a diesel with fuel prices as they are

@@PiOfficial So you would rather a much worse driving experience

@@PointNemo9 I think a wider powerband, low rpm power, way better mpg, lower CO2 output and better reliability is more important than the noise my car makes and the ability to rev to 7k.

Or just stay out of flood water.

Funny how one thinks you could make water magically stay away from the engine bay by generating a bow wave.

If it matters how you drive then it's too deep.

You were caught to drive in water? Seems pretty stupid.

You would probably be in this video

A couple of self tapper screws into thin plastic on modern cars.... can't withstand water of that depth being hit at that speed.....

People underestimate the resistance of water and snow all the time.

Or? You made your own flood ford on your area huh?

I’d rather be a tow truck driver, lots of money and you don’t get you hands dirty.

Hi Rickie, sorry mate but what exactly is going on when they get flooded? Are these cars now write off's? The really nice Audi @ 6:00 has that car had it? And the noise on the car @ 2:00 , what's going on? I did pay attention at school but not fully sure what's going on. Sorry, genuinely curious.

@@tilerman water gets into the air intake and into the cylinders. Water can't be compressed so on the compression stroke the piston tries to compress water resulting in a broken connecting rod and no more engine.

@@ianhosier4042 Bent rods, broken crankshafts, valves, broken valve trains, cracked pistons... whyyyy do they do it?!!!

I guess so. It's starts with the promising knock at 2:01.

@@petersylvester2905 Thanks for the alternative, didnt think of that :0

The end of the starter motor will have broken off, as hes tried to start it with the engine locked. Seen it happen a few times on these

That was my guess. You can hear it the hydrolock at 2:02, not sure what other damage he did on the first restart attempt. If he's lucky the starter fail saved his engine. Unlike the mini which sounded like it threw a rod (to my uneducated ears).

Some don’t even think , that grey fiat that lost its front plate didn’t even slow. Did they even notice?

there are so many cars ruiined, that I would take good care of. just give me the monies ;-)

@@CAESARbonds I hear you. The Audi @ 6:00 , is that car now a right off? And the noise on the car @ 2:00 , what is that? Are most of these cars now irreparable?

@@CAESARbonds cars? Nah, just motors. The cars themselves are fine lol

the one who needs car can always go buy one. the one doesn't need it can always sell it. It's their car, they could do whatever they want with it.

@@trashyspeeds266 LOL, the cars are fine, it's 'ONLY' the engine that's fucked!

In one of these videos a Freelander towed someone out, then later came through at speed and got his own engine full of water.
