Renault Duster AWD drives through a river: OTR with Kolkata Offroaders

A lot of driving through water and slush, while the outside temperature was more than 40 degrees C.

BHPian Samba recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The running has been low for the past 3 months. In Jan end, after the Winter Spiti trip, the odo reading was at 64,000 km. Driven only 1,000 km since then.

No niggles or any sort of problems cropped up after the trip. Everything is absolutely fine.

Attended an OTR with Kolkata Offroaders in the meantime. This event had a lot of driving through water and slush, while the outside temperature was more than 40 degrees C. The car performed beyond my expectations, especially on the river crossings. Duster as usual was good on slush. The Ac was turned off during the water crossings, on rest of the time the AC kept the cabin chilled in that heat!

Post OTR got a thorough wash of the underbelly by opening all 4 wheels and made sure there was no unwanted soil stuck anywhere.

Actions from the OTR:

1. Crossing a river
2. Damodar riverbed
