If you did stop in foot deep water, there is the possibility that some will find its way in. However, since there is not vacuum in that pipe, it will not be sucked in.How would the car behave if you're stuck in traffic in a huge puddle of water? I assume the engine will suck up some (lots) of water through this hole ? Hard to hide after the engine is hydro locked and you're sitting at the dealer.
To see how much, you could drill a .05", (or slightly less than a 1/16" hole, 1/16 is .0625") in a plastic cup or drinking glass and hold that 6" down into some water and see how quickly it comes in. Me, I will not drive my VW through water, I spent too much money on it to risk water getting into wheel bearings, the transaxle, etc.
