It's classic

They may as well open the boot

Thinking the same thing and this is the first comment I saw 😂

What if you also let it dry out? 😂

Absolutely, I wouldn’t bother having a TV if I lived here.

I couldn't agree with you more. What delight this is for the neighbourhood.

Bring your kids along to show them how life works if you have no common sense.

Some comedy too! Love the ducks floating around, and when people decide (for some strange reason) to drive up the side creek.

You sir, are a sick and twisted individual thriving only from Schadensfreude. But... may I sit with you and have some popcorn too?

Great info, thanks for sharing that.

Would you be better off reversing through the river? The wave made by the car goes in front, so wouldn’t flood the engine compartment, just a thought.

I suppose it was too difficult to divert round the ford!

Brill, just a small amendment required to item 3, for diesel engines (no sparkers) :)

@@Greebstreebling Maybe pull the glow plugs out?

Same lot that vote Tory😅😄😃🤣

Bit like the jabbed

Terrible engines. Had the same engine in the Audi TT and it was unreliable garbage. Continuously ate coils which were very hard to access

@@Rambogner That's peculiar. I had the 2.8 version in a mk4 Golf V6 4Motion and to this day still have an early 2.9 12v version in my 28 year old Corrado VR6 with 160k miles on the clock and they have been bullet proof. I don't know what happened to yours.

@@tnetroP Huh, how weird that 2 different engines behave differently...

@@1Dustin The core engine is the same. The Corrado VR6 was the first VW to get the VR6. It should be less reliable, not more reliable than the later versions because lessons learned were used to improve the later 24v versions. The engine in the mk4 Golf 2.8 V6 4motion was almost identical to the supposedly unreliable R32 in the TT mk1, with the exception of a slightly smaller capacity. It was only smaller capacity to differentiate it from the R32 that VW wanted to charge a premium for. It used the same coil packs for example. The issue with the coil packs wasn't a VR6 problem. Many VW engines of the same era suffered that exact same issue including the 1.8 and 2.0 turbo four cylinders. It was a problem with the coil packs and not specific to the VR6 engine. There is indeed a lack of space in the engine bays when work is needed on a VR6. But that's inherent in the requirement to fit a 6 cylinder engine in an engine bay designed for a 4 cylinder engine. The real issue with the VR6 was that it was inefficient and low on power compared to the cheaper and lower emission four cylinder turbos. It also has an issue with chains and tensioner around the 100k mark. The earlier 12v engines also had a tendancy to oval the bore holes over time. But it is generally a reliable and cleverly designed engine, especially in the updated 24v version.

Sadly this R32 had a very dumb driver

Engine teardown or new engine.....not cheap. Hope they have insurance.

AND if they would do it again for a laff...

I doubt this will be covered by insurance. After all, they are willingly destroying their cars.

@@martindoppelbauer7738 Yep I see NO WAY the insurance companies will pay for this. And I bet you those insurance people watch these videos with one hand down their pants...

I genuinely think these people have absolutely zero idea how much damage they can do to their vehicles. There seems to be some odd assumption that “it’ll be fine once it dries out”

Engine salesmen.

Nooooooooo ! The person driving through the water needs a slap. It's a lesson in life.

what's wrong with that? it seems like a reasonable suggestion but not an expert

@@Misha-dr9rh I think that's it's wise to take advice from an expert, just in case you haven't stuffed your engine. I've never owned a diesel, but for a petrol car, I'd at least pull the plugs before cranking in case it stalled before it was mechanical failure.

why? that makes it extra funny.

Saves you getting the 200 piece Halfrauds professional tool kit... 🤣

I also don't get it, surely there's a safer way to cross, just by taking a little detour. I also don't see many people stopping and gauging the water depth before trying to drive through. Or maybe ask the spectators.

@@graealex It's not even the depth of the water that's the issue. it's peole driving way too fast which pushes the water up through the intake killing the engine.

@@TheHobohobbit It's actually a combination of the two.

Im sure Audi Ford BMW VW etc love this spot, the only car s making it are 4x4 with high inlets or the very slow driving cars. Turning over the engine with water in the engine is a bit of a death sentence…

I'd describe it as U-boat commander award😂

Insurance so who cares, let them pick up the bill hahaha

@@andyk1882 Will insurance cover stupidity?

@@dennismarks6133 Nope, but for most, this will be a happy surprise for later.

yep just floor it, i hammer mine everywhere i love it

it's like watching a monkey F'ing a football...

If the car is not willing to cooperate, just try stater + clutch dump in 2nd while being towed

Like word "mash" good word.

@D2M5 yeah but I think that more applies if you get your distributor wet, not water in your intake

Witness me!

It may make them feel as much as being a celebrity as Matt Hancock appears to be feeling these days. They, too, are very deluded. They all need to stop, for a reality check!

@@Mike-er2ih I think that you mean 'witless'.

@@Mike-er2ih that made me actually laugh out loud 😅

I think some are dumb enough and think they should drive fast through the water to make more people wet... funny!

Him to the insurance, what do you mean fords and flood water aren't covered?

or the people watching, filming and laugh. ghoulish behaviour.

lol... GOOD ONE! 🤣

That's offensive! Are you implying that a bucket of water is denser than these morons...?

Wet terminals is why it won’t start lmaooo

Exactly, you don't see people stopping before it, maybe gauging the depth, and then just going through it slowly. When you see that big bow wave splashing over their bonnet, you immediately know it's over. When in reality, at many times the water wasn't particularly deep. Also: going fast into murky water with zero visibility is in itself very stupid. Like if there are stones or branches inside the water, you'd ruin the bottom of the car either way.

Yep, from what I can guess that as long as you keep the water sloshing below the level of the front grill (the bit above the number plate) you're probably fine. Charging in like an eejit losing body panels to add to the trophy pile beside the ford is only going to do one thing.

Well... Brites ain't it?

Maybe they're attempting a spot of aquaplaning...... 🐬

It is not cricket urging people to cross knowing what will happen to them.

@@johnsmith9161 yeah I’m all for watching people make a fool of themselves but encouraging it is going too far

It's pretty evil. That kid cheering, throwing his hand up, probably tortures little animals in the forest.

What you have to realise is for most of these spectators this is as interesting as there life gets

Northerners , " Buy 20k BMW , then right off the engine " Dumb bunch lol

U boat

So true how stupid people can be! When we all know, only lotus are water proof, and can actually go underwater! As shown on bond 007 film!

Insurer: "Not our problem, pal. Read the bit in your policy where it says you aren't covered for mechanical breakdown."

around £4 grand for a 2nd hand engine LOL total plonker that guy was wrecked a very rare car

@@christineayres7199 my thoughts exactly lol

@@rickoshea1027 Yeah its very annoying because in the USA people love the Wide Body Golfs and they pay top money for them , so i hope that idiot repairs it as it is a sin to let that car go to the scrapyard.

@@christineayres7199 I agree. Rare over here to don't see many around. But if he's a true car guy he would of but then again a car guy wouldn't take it thru water ffs hahah

On many of the clips you'll see the "road closed" sign shown, it's just a fold out from the regular "ford" sign. But these drivers didn't notice that and went through at their own risk anyway.

Much less painful when it's not your car!!!

Dumbest thing is the village of Wellow and the A614 are also connected up at the McDonald's roundabout. 1.8 miles to go down Rufford Lane, 3.0 miles to use the main road. Literally 2 minutes at 30mph. There is no reason to cross this ford at all.

I know as soon as the water goes over the hood of the car it's done

I can't hear the engines being destroyed because I'm laughing too much.

Ja genau da haben sie vollkommen recht das ist die beste Möglichkeit im Motor wieder zu reinigen

It's amazing what people with an ego so after they've been embarrassed

I was delighted watching one of the videos to see a few splashes of water come out of the exhaust... then a few bucket loads... then a lovely CLANK sound! Snot gunna run after that!

You reckon they open the bonnet looking for the bung?

Its not that deep, its only because they hit the water too fast and it create a massive bow wave that gets into the air filter.

Thinking is a skill that most of these idiots have never mastered, maybe they have not even tried.

“It’s just a small lake I can make it though”

The more expensive the vehicle, the more invincible they believe they are.

thats not a puddle mate

Data confirms IQ has been dropping for a while now, we lost 15 points in the last few decades

E10 is not part water. It is up to 10% ethanol. Ethanol attracts water but the car won't run it if has. But of course everyone know that...

LMAO. Nice one.

He totalled the engine right there :[

can't believe he drove an R32 through that, looked like a mint car before

Eh? The engine hydrolocks if you get water in the air intake. Engine speed is irrelevant.

@@kristoffscuba5466 engine speed is relevant dude. When you rev the engine, it sucks air in a vacuum state (negative pressure than 1 atm is the Earth pressure) so , speed of car + waves of water getting faster in the air intake + high revs of engine = more vacuum from intake, lots of water travelling through the intake and into the intake valves. If you don't rev the car and let it drive at idle engine speed with 1mile/hour whatever that speed is through the water you have 70-80% chance not to kill the engine, if water level is below the headlights.

@@jokerash nah. If the engine is under load and moving the car, combustion is happening. You get into water that’s deeper than the air box then your engine is sucking water in. More revs may mean more vacuum and more water, but even at low revs you are hydrolocking that engine.

@@jokerash Exactly.

You don't get it. It's not a water test for the car, it's a driver's test. They're forcing water to enter the engine intake, thereby ruining the engine by hydrolocking. Very expensive decision.

It was the drivers who failed

Those stats are brand and model specific. In the overall stats, full size, German cars have been allocated a handicap, as their drivers often do not possess any common sense when behind their wheel. 🤣

It's great business though for the AA and other towing companies and of course all the local garages too.

@@slacko1971 if that's the case the AA and RAC should refuse to cover rufford.
