What is the maximum wading depth of the Audi A6?
1 Answers
Car maximum wading depth is measured based on the position of the vehicle's air intake. Below are the details: Using the position of the vehicle's air intake as a benchmark: For most compact and small cars with low ground clearance, the position of the air intake serves as the benchmark when driving through waterlogged roads. The function of the air intake is to draw in air. If the water depth exceeds the height of the air intake, a large amount of water can be sucked into the engine compartment, which can severely endanger the safety of the vehicle. The air intake of a car is mostly located under the engine hood. Generally, the height of the engine air intake represents the maximum wading depth of the car. If the water level exceeds this maximum wading depth, the vehicle should no longer be driven. Preventing water from entering the engine: When driving in deep water, the movement of the car can cause high splashes. Therefore, if the water depth exceeds two-thirds of the wheel height, water may enter the cabin. If the water depth exceeds the front bumper or approaches the front grille, it can directly lead to water entering the engine, causing damage to the vehicle.
