did it in a Non-snorkled V6 NS SWB about 2 yrs ago.. water came up over the bonnet and washed up the screen but only for a few sec - had no issues..
If you are worried - fit a tarp to the front and over the engine bay just for the crossing...
was it a petrol or diesel engine?
i've done some quick deep crossing with a petrol engine without a snorkel , but a bit scary to do it with a diesel one.
all installers were to busy lately so no one could install a snorkel for me before the xmass, have to make a tarp bra then just in case the creeks are deeper than usual, thanks for suggestion.
The "All for Adventure" TV lads mentioned their 200 Series Cruisers were susceptible to putting the belt driven viscous clutch radiator fan through the radiator in deep water crossings, so they would "tie it up", but didn't show how they did this.
Is the Gen 4 Pajero in the same boat (so to speak) & if so how would you go about "tying it up"?
Mitsubishi Challenger crossing. GoPro mounted at top of windscreen above roof line.
If you go way out left (would be right if heading towards the western beach) to the line I took there is a more shallow route. We got a no snorkel stock challenger through there with some careful guidance. Obviously low tide only.

thanks, cool vid. it looks like it was a bit full even on low tide

is there a switch next to the radiator which turns of the fan?
Consider loosening the fan belt if your vehicle does not have a viscous coupling type fan. This prevents your fan from becoming a propeller and potentially damaging your radiator. If your fan does have a viscous coupling, then simply tie a piece of string to a solid piece of the vehicle and loop the other end around the fan blade to prevent it from turning. When you exit the water, simply slip the loop off the fan blade and the fan will begin spinning again.
To determine if you have a viscous coupling fan, turn your engine off and try to turn the fan with your hand. If it turns then it has a viscous coupling.
The NS/NT Petrol and Diesel Pajero have their intakes in the same position.
Both engines are allergic to water ingestion, so the same would apply regardless.

Oh yeah there's a channel through there. Usually on the eastern side but obviously it would move with currents. It drops in and out pretty quickly. You would not want to get stuck there though.
