Yaris going through water... - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I talked to a guy from AEM and he said unless your goin through a lake the intakes would not suck in water. He said it would have to be some pretty tall water. If you dont think you have a cold air intake then probably not

. You will be fine.

The car is fine.

Do we have your permission to turn this into a gag, sherryberry? The comedic possibilities are there, we just don't want anyone getting bent out of shape.

as long as u didn't IDLE in that "pool" of water & keep moving forward that time, it should be alright... :)

it should be fine. You should see the cars in my country...they plow through the flooded street waters...small fiats and whatnot.
I've plowed through puddles on rainy days w/ my Mirage and that baby still ran 80mph consistant for an hour or so to S.F.
I expect the same of the Yaris, maybe even more because its a Toyota.

No need to be concerned sherry. Its a 10k+ object, it SHOULD last as through more than some puddles here and there~

Must be the week for storms. I took my Yaris in for service & on the way home MAJOR storm! The town where the dealership is has horrible drainage even on the interstate so I was slogging thru giant "puddles" for about 10 miles (at 30 mph the "wake" was up to my windows). I was more worried about hydroplaning or being struck by the gigantic bolts of lightning than I was about damage to the car from the water. It just sliced right thru it, without even messing with the brakes!

Give Sherryberry a break, she said she doesn't know much about cars. Kick em when they're down. Geez!

haha man i'm never asking a question again. And I found out what the water did do damage to.... the cheap front "plate" that the dealers had in originally is now all bent up haha.
