Does Water Entering the Exhaust Pipe Affect the Car?

[VonBethany]

Water entering the exhaust pipe can affect the car. Here are the detailed impacts: 1. It can cause serious consequences such as water entering the engine: If only the exhaust pipe has water, the accumulated water should be removed as soon as possible to prevent impurities in the water from clogging the three-way catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor. 2. It may lead to exhaust pipe blockage: Poor exhaust can cause the engine to stall, but the engine may not necessarily take in water at this time. 3. Piston damage: Since water is far less compressible than oil, if a certain amount of water enters the cylinder under high pressure, it can easily break the engine's connecting rod or even damage the piston.
