Can't rembember for sure, but I think it's 700mm. Top of the wheel rim is also a fair rule of thumb...

the air intake is at headlight height    

but the axle /diff breather is lower  

autobox and wading should not be an issue     its the air intake thats the main measure    thats why snorkles work  Laughing

you ca extend the axle breather pipe easy/cheap enough




but more often that not     its driver bottle that determins the depth  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing

600mm is the figure Mitsubishi give for a bog standard Mark 2 Pajero. Roughly where the top of the wheels (not the tyres) are, if you're running standard 265/70R15 or 31x10.5x15 tyres. Technically it's about 3cm lower on a 2.5 or 3.0, but if you use the tops of the wheels as a guide, that's still safe.

That's assuming you keep moving, so the diff breathers will probably be in an air gap behind the bulkier parts underneath the vehicle. If you stop, you'll probably suck water into the diffs, which is why the Owner's Handbook advises you to drain and refill the diffs when you can after driving in deep water. When you get home will be fine - you won't do any damage if the diffs are sitting in mayonnaise for a hundred miles or so. Check your air filter housing too, as a soggy air filter is no fun for anyone Smile

When operating a water-wading vehicle, safety is always a concern. Therefore, it is important to wear appropriate clothing and footwear, use a helmet, and follow all traffic laws. When driving a water-wading boat, it is important to keep children away from the vehicle. Click Here
