Where is the air intake of a sedan located, and what is its wading depth?
1 Answers
The air intake of a sedan is generally located in the engine compartment. The safe wading depth is the distance of the vehicle's ground clearance. Below are the relevant details: 1. Exhaust pipe: When water reaches half the height of the wheel, it can basically enter the exhaust pipe, but it will not damage the three-way catalytic converter; therefore, half the height of the wheel is widely recognized as a relatively safe wading depth. 2. Air intake: The air intake of the A4L is located on the support crossbeam under the engine hood, with the opening facing forward and horizontally. The pipe connecting the air intake to the air filter has a certain curvature. Even if water briefly enters the air intake, it will not immediately flow into the air filter. As long as the air filter remains dry, the engine will not stall.
