If water enters the engine, the car will not be able to start. Moreover, it may not be possible to ignite the engine after water ingress. If the engine is started after water has entered, it can cause severe and irreversible damage to the engine. It is recommended not to attempt restarting the engine after it has stalled due to water ingress. Additional Information: Below are the key points for maintaining a car engine: 1. Regular Oil Changes: Engine oil acts as a lubricant, providing lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and wear reduction for the engine. 2. Regular Replacement of the Three Filters: The three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. These filters help remove impurities, protect the engine, and improve its efficiency. The replacement cycle for these filters is generally the same as that for engine oil during routine maintenance. 3. Power Steering Fluid: Commonly known as steering fluid, it should be checked regularly for leaks or unusual noises. 4. Coolant: Coolant ensures the engine operates normally. Regularly check the coolant level to ensure it is within the standard range and inspect the coolant reservoir for leaks. Coolant should typically be replaced once a year on average.

Last time my car got flooded, I tried to start it but it just wouldn't work. The engine made a buzzing sound but failed to start. The mechanic later told me that water had entered the cylinders, and during the compression stroke, the water would block the pistons, making it impossible to start at best, or bending the connecting rods and damaging the entire engine at worst. That repair cost me over 6,000 yuan, which was heartbreaking. Now, I never risk driving through flooded areas. If the water reaches near the exhaust pipe or air filter, I stop the engine and don't move the car; it's best to have it towed to a professional shop for drainage and inspection. Also, when washing the car, avoid spraying water directly into the air intake. Developing good habits can save you a lot of trouble.

Can 205 rims accommodate 225 tires?

It depends on the rim model. If the rim is 6.5J or 7.0J, there is no need to replace the rim. Here is some additional information: Rims: The rim is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner contour to the wheel hub via spokes. It is the metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle. Also known as wheel rims, steel rims, or simply wheels. Rims come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material.

The application and usage of wheel hub bearing units have been increasing and have now evolved to the third generation.

What causes oil discharge from the exhaust under exhaust brake operation?

The reasons for oil discharge from the exhaust under exhaust brake operation: Damaged cylinder gasket. Poor valve sealing. Excessive clearance between the valve and the guide. Insufficient tension of the piston rings or incorrectly installed piston rings. Piston rings stuck; newly repaired engines not properly run-in, the oil discharge phenomenon will naturally disappear after a period of running-in. Other reasons include: Excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall: If the clearance between the piston and cylinder wall is too large and the engine does not reach the proper temperature for a long time, oil leakage faults are prone to occur. Too long low-speed ignition time: This causes the engine temperature to rise too slowly; excessive clearance in the connecting rod bearings increases the amount of oil splashed on the cylinder wall and sucked into the combustion chamber. Injection pressure too low: Injection pump pressure is too low, and the injector pressure is also too low (so-called injector dripping).
