Are Manual Transmission Flooded Cars Harmful?
1 Answers
Manual transmission flooded cars are harmful. Below is relevant information about vehicle wading: Introduction to vehicle wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving a vehicle through low-lying, waterlogged roads. This usually occurs during rainy weather when poor drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. Precautions: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; maintain steady power while in the water; after wading, inspect the electrical system. If a car stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though electrical damage may also occur in some cases. Once a car stalls in water, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine failure in extreme cases. Instead, the car should be towed immediately to a 4S shop for professional handling.
