What is the wading depth of the Lavida Plus?
2 Answers
The wading depth of the Lavida Plus is 30-60cm. Below is an introduction to water-damaged vehicles: Definition of water-damaged vehicles: Water begins to accumulate in the vehicle, and internal components are damaged due to the water. Water-damaged vehicles have corresponding flood levels. Classification of flood levels for water-damaged vehicles: Flood level 1 is when water just reaches the vehicle's chassis, flood level 2 is when water reaches half of the wheels, flood level 3 is when water almost completely submerges the tires, flood level 4 is when water reaches the engine hood, flood level 5 is when water completely submerges the engine hood, and flood level 6 is when water submerges the roof.
I was also quite worried about this issue when I first started driving. As a car owner, I believe the wading depth of the Volkswagen Lavida Plus is generally around 30-40 cm, mainly referring to the height of the intake pipe, which is roughly at the wheel axle position. I suggest not to drive through deep water easily, as exceeding this depth may cause the engine to take in water and stall. Once, I encountered a puddle on a rainy night, drove through it without any issues as it wasn't too deep, but it would have been troublesome if it were slightly deeper. Always pay attention to weather forecasts when driving, and it's best to avoid waterlogged roads during heavy rain. Lower car chassis are more affected by water accumulation, which may also lead to electrical short circuits or chassis rust. Safety first, I think it's better to measure the water depth with a stick before wading to avoid taking risks.
