What Causes the Volkswagen 1.4 to Stutter When Crossing Deep Water?
1 Answers
Volkswagen 1.4 stuttering when crossing deep water may be due to power supply issues in the electrical system caused by wading. Vehicle wading depth standards: Sedans: Generally, sedan tires have an inner diameter of 16 to 18 inches. Since tire inner diameters are measured in inches, converting to centimeters (cm) gives approximately 40 to 45 cm. The safe wading depth for sedans is up to half the tire height. This depth ensures no water enters the cabin and the engine does not stall. SUVs: It is well known that SUVs have better off-road capability. One reason is their larger tire inner diameters, typically 2 inches larger than sedans. Another factor is the higher ground clearance of SUVs compared to sedans, allowing for an additional 5 to 10 cm in wading depth. However, it is still advisable to avoid driving in water deeper than the tire height.
