Can Flooded Cars Still Be Driven?

[StArianna]

Flooded cars can still be driven as long as they are properly repaired, but they are more prone to malfunctions compared to regular vehicles. Definition of a flooded car: Refers to a vehicle that has been driven on low-lying, waterlogged roads or has passed through water. This typically occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas where poor drainage leads to water accumulation on the road. Precautions when wading through water: Before entering water, observe the road conditions carefully. While in the water, maintain steady power. After wading, check the electrical system. If a car stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once the car stalls, 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 damage. Instead, the car should be towed immediately to a 4S shop for professional handling.
