Siena: There's always the risk of any control modules being water damaged, causing short-circuits. But, this isn't the worst that could happen.

If water is drawn through the air intake, the engine will hydro-lock. I'll explain what this means.

Your engine draws air into the intake, mixes it with gasoline or diesel, depending on engine type. This air/fuel mixture is then drawn into your combnustion chamber, where it is compressed by your pistons. I'm not going to go into the spark side of things that ignites the air/fuel mixture here, because it's not relevant. Air is compressible, liquid is not.

So when water is sucked into your combustion chambers, your pistons will try to compress it. With your engine turning over, the pistons will meet resistance, and the first things to give are the connecting rods. If you're lucky, and the engine shuts down early, there'll be minimal damage. The plugs can be removed, the engine cranked over, and the water blown out. If you're unlucky, and the engine doesn't shut down early, your connecting rods will bend, as there's no way the pistons can compress the water in the cylinders.

Sometimes, an engine a slightly bent conrod or two MAY run after the water in the cylinders has been blown out (by removing the plugs) but it'll never be right. The cylinders with bent rods will have the pistons stop short of TDC (Top Dead Centre) which will mean lower compression in the affected cylinders, and poor running.

In some cases, bent connecting rods will smash holes in your cylinder block, with the conrods and sometimes pistons exiting the side of the engine.

There are no ifs or buts. If you want to hang onto your automobile for a long time, and not have to spend $$$ when you don't have to, avoid driving through flooded roads.

I can't understand what "Nadoson" is stating, and his analogies are way off the mark. You don't deliberately drive your automobile through a Ford, and expect all to be well.

daylae: The world is in a confuse state that good moral values are been condemed while bad morals are been celebrated. Even virgins that should be bold and proud are ashame of themselves while sexually defilled ones are been celebrated. Sad!
