Jan 20, 2017 at 2:55 comment added Criggie From memory the cold air inlet is right behind the front bumper and in front of the wheel - a ridiculously vulnerable location for an air inlet. So a puddle over shin height is likely to be ingested.
Jan 20, 2017 at 0:57 comment added barbecue How deep was the puddle? A sudden splash of cold water on a hot engine can cause cracks, but if water actually went into the engine, the impact could be much worse. How likely is it that water actually got high enough to be ingested?
