Does a car need maintenance after driving through deep water?

[VanManuel]

Driving through deep water requires maintenance for the car, as driving through water can easily damage the engine and potentially lead to the vehicle being scrapped. Therefore, after driving through deep water, the car should undergo a comprehensive inspection and maintenance. Below are some relevant points about driving through water: 1. Drive in a low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission vehicles, shift into the hill-climbing gear) and drive slowly and steadily through the waterlogged area while maintaining control of the steering wheel. Be aware of any potholes or gaps beneath the water. 2. Do not restart the engine if it stalls: If the vehicle stalls in a waterlogged area, remember not to restart the engine. A stalled engine indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage to the piston connecting rod components due to the incompressibility of water, potentially leading to the complete failure of the engine.
