Does a Statically Submerged Vehicle Have Significant Impact After Repair?
1 Answers
The impact of a statically submerged vehicle after repair largely depends on the extent of water immersion. Below is relevant information about repairing water-damaged vehicles: 1. Minor Water Immersion: If the water immersion is not severe, simply replacing the affected components may suffice. 2. Severe Water Immersion: If the immersion is severe, requiring repairs to components like the engine, the vehicle might initially appear problem-free post-repair. However, after several years, frequent issues are likely to arise. 3. Precautions: When driving through a flooded area and the vehicle becomes immobilized, if you have purchased water ingress insurance, the insurance will cover the compensation. This insurance can also be referred to as special engine loss coverage. Note: If the engine stalls after the vehicle is submerged, never attempt to restart it, as this can cause severe engine damage.
