Hydro-Lock problems? NOT ME!!!
I just had to post this about my experience tonight:
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I've lived here for 3.5 years now, and experienced the WORST rain I've ever seen. We had a isolated Tropical gust that gave over 4 inches of rain in less than 90 minutes tonight. As I was leaving work, I approached my car on the ground floor of the parking ramp, and it was sitting in 4+ inches of standing water.
I pulled out of the ramp and saw a low area that had standing water 6+ inches deep, as it was still pouring down, I sat and watched 3 cars Hydro-Lock in front of me, but watching for a path through.
(now let me preface this by saying I was WAY freaked out that I was going to kill my baby benz since I went from a HUMMER to the C300 and had heard the horror stories)
wellllll, my DIRE thurst for a beer overrode my better judgement at the time, but I decided I had to get home...
6+ inches of water, going at just above idle to not suck water into the intake, and YUP, NO PROBLEMS!!!
DAYUM, I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
