I had no choice and got stuck driving through what im guessing was about 6 inches of water. My car is lowered but not slammed. Water didnt come in the vehicle or anything. I drove the rest of the way home which was about 3 miles. Turned the car off, started back up fine. Im just buggin, should I be concerned about any water damage?

 

How long were you in the water?? Any water in your fogs? Do they work? Did you look under the car to see if the panels were soaked?

 

not long, just drove right through. id say 20 seconds if you want to get technical lol. I didnt check the fogs or really anything underneath the car. that may be a good idea to see if the fogs work.

 

Fogs light up and starts up fine again. How far down does the air box duct go into the engine?

 

you should be fine

try finding a way around in the future! this is a easy way to hydrolock your engine

 

Provided you are stock or f-sport intake the box is just underneath the left panel and about 10"-12" deep. Those vents at front of the panels is the air inlet.

Here, for reference:

 

There's no way you sucked in an water into the motor. If anything you got some moisture on some sensors; let it hit over night and dry out. It should be fine.

 

I don't think you have anything to worry about with 6'' of water, most parts near the bottom are sealed and I'm sure they take into account that people will be driving through some relatively deeper than normal puddles when they're developing the car, but i'd check just as a precaution. Let us know how it goes.

I had to do the same things as week and the only thing to be worried about are your fog lights
