Can Flood-Damaged Cars Still Be Used?
1 Answers
For gasoline-powered vehicles, they can be used after repairs, but electric vehicles cannot be reused. Here is relevant information about flood-damaged cars: 1. Severity: The severity of a flood-damaged car depends on the height of water submersion and whether the vehicle was started while submerged. 2. Below the seats: If the water only reached below the seats, this height has not yet reached the vehicle's air intake, fuse box, or central control dashboard. After thorough cleaning, the impact on the vehicle is relatively minor. 3. Cleaning: During cleaning, it is necessary to replace the transmission oil, engine oil, and brake fluid, as well as clean and maintain the vehicle's braking system, exhaust pipe, and three-way catalytic converter. This can further reduce the impact of water damage on the vehicle's subsequent use.
