Check whether the air filter on the engine has been flooded. As long as the air filter is not flooded, the car can be started at any time. Flooded cars can be repaired to a certain extent, but even after repair, there are serious hidden dangers. The longer the soaking time, the higher the probability of failure. If the car is severely flooded, it is also a good choice for the owner to opt for scrapping. Below is an introduction to the relevant knowledge about flooded cars: 1. Water-immersed car: If the water level exceeds the chassis of the car, it is called a water-immersed car. 2. Semi-flooded car: If the water level exceeds the oil dipstick, it can be called a semi-flooded car. 3. Fully flooded car: If the water level has exceeded the engine hood or the dashboard panel, then it is called a fully flooded car.
