Thread: wading depth

Considering the ECU is under the seat with a drainage hole :roll: , going mad under there with some silicone wouldn't be a bad start.

water crosiings

safe depth.

Anywhere under the head of the snorkel should be sweet! :wink:

Brochure on the TD5 says 1/2 metre. As long as it doesn't get in the box under the seat your ECU will be safe. I don't know about the throttle sensor on the peddle though.

<span style="color:green">if the water starts to come in under your doors i think it would be safe to assume that you are in too deep.....</span>

The ECM (under the drivers seat) has three small holes on the backside. (Why ? Only a pommie engineer would know), Fill them up with silicon and you should be safe. The connectors are splash proofed (not water proofed) but they should not cause any trouble. I have seen ECM's under water, most of them without any dramas. I took my Defender trough 1.2m deep crossings, it is still going....

My 110 does not have an ECM, but the manual says to the top of the wheels (i.e. with the tyre showing at the top), but I have often driven with the water just above the top of the tyres, but only for short distances, and occasionally for a short dip to the top of the mudguards, with no problems except sometimes got water in the front diff, due to a cracked axle housing or damage to the breather.

depths to bonnet and slight over are OK but DONOT stop moving [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] this is when the trouble starts in deep water wading.
