1 Answers
Water in the engine does affect the car. The impacts of water in the engine include: 1. Engine failure. 2. Short circuits in engine circuits and wiring. 3. Damage to the driving system. 4. Contamination of lubricating oil. 5. Transmission damage. 6. Damage to the boxing system. 7. Damage to other instruments or components. After water enters the engine, the following checks should be performed: 1. First, check if there is water in the engine cylinders: Water can cause the connecting rods to bend and damage the engine. If it is confirmed that water has entered the engine, the spark plugs should be removed, the fuel supply system and ignition system should be manually cut off, and then the engine should be run using the starter motor to allow the water to drain out smoothly. 2. Check the condition of the oil in various vehicle systems: To avoid foaming, cloudiness, and other phenomena after water ingress, which can lead to oil degradation and loss of lubrication. Water may carry sand particles, causing excessive engine wear, so timely cleaning and replacement are necessary. After testing, the electrical connection components inside the engine compartment should be cleaned to prevent corrosion and sand accumulation due to moisture. Components such as the fuse box, sensor plugs, and areas prone to water accumulation should also be cleaned.
