Con Rod is the weakest link in a hydro locked engine. Ive seen at least 10 of them.

Never had a problem with either of the VR6's and the second one that I had had around 185.000k's on it when I sold it.
The Vento gave some problems about 100,000k's ago. It wouldn't idle but a short spray of carburettor cleaner into the throttle body/butterfly (which by the way is not recommended by those supposedly in the know) fixed that.
We have never had any problems associated with rain, heavy rain or deep puddles.

Jesus, I drove the polo through water that came up and over the bonnet (deep puddle, the sign said only 0.5m, it was atleast 0.75m), nothing happened!!
We floated for a bit and the tyres got traction again and off we went.

my bro drove his cordoba thru a deep puddle. few seconds later the car stalled and didnt start again. Coil had died. Its strange considered where its located. Hard to imagine water damaging it. But thats what happened
