Hopefully the motor isn't too badly affected and you are back on the tracks quick smart[thumbsupbig]

This incidend does go to show just how valuable fitting a decent snorkle to a 4WD that will only cost a few hundred dollars to get fitted can save not only your engine in deep water But your weekend as well[thumbsupbig]

Well On the positive side, you had go.... good effort . [emoji51]

With some luck just the intercooler will be blocked with water but the primary turbo could be damaged.

Hopefully they get the glow plugs out.. Spin it and she lives.. Bit of an oil change then off ya go.
