when i used to do late night callouts and the road was flooded i got out took socks and shoes off and went paddling anything above lower sill height no chance and go round only ever did it once and got away without engine damage in a fiesta van. the air intake goes down over and sucks it upIt's not just the depth of water but can also be the bow wave set up by oncoming morons who insist on playing Donald Campbell. We lost a car due to this when the oncoming wave drowned our car with a loud " clunk" as a rod broke . We had come to a halt at the time . Car written off along with 1000's of others that day . Mid 2000's. Just don't deliberately enter water just because it 'doesn't look too deep'.
