Hi everybody

 

Just a quick question, where is the induction air fed from. Is it low down or higher up in the engine bay ?

 

Friend had a Jaguar XF and the induction feed was down under the rad, so only about 3 to 4"  above the road and driving through a small flood killed the engine !

 

Anybody done any flood driving and how did you get on ?

 

Thanks in advance

I was in Hereford in January this year when it was very wet for a hospital appointment.  Going there from Brecon was OK with a little water on the road, but going home it was much worse.  I got as far as Willersley on the A438, but the water beyond there was too deep and some people were pushing a car out of the water that stopped in the middle, so I turned round and went home via Abergavenny.  Even a Volvo XC90 I was following gave up and turned round at the same point.  Unfortunately, I had to drive back through the water I'd already been through as in these photos courtesy of SWMBO.
