yes o!the one at ust round about.
It turns out that the supercharger(kompressor) intake that the engineers at mercedes placed at the bottom of the fan is a huge design flaw afterall!!they never thought of flood before doing that grin

It once happened to me...I raced from Lagos to Benin end route Abuja in about 3 hours rested overnight, the next morning I got into a flood and lost the engine.

If the water is higher than the sump, abort trip is my new motto.

Sorry brother

Kai. On my Skoda, I rerouted the drip hose from the intake away from the wheel well into the engine bay because it could suck water and hydrolock the engine. I have been particularly careful of such.
While driving out this morning, I was wondering how the low hung cars were faring in the flood waters. Never new a nairalander would lose an engine.
Sorry once again bro. You may have to reroute the air intake on your diesel merc so you don't suffer same fate if the air pipes are routed in a similar way.

I guess so. May be if it was a naturally aspirated engine, you shouldn't have experienced this. Sorry all the same bro for the unnecessary expenses.

You really don't want to go that route. Stop comparing Camry with the C klasse. Common man come and measure up to the E klasse if you can dare!!
