How Long Does It Take for Electrical Circuit Failures to Appear in Flood-Damaged Vehicles?
1 Answers
If the flood-damaged vehicle has not been submerged too deeply, there is no need to worry excessively. However, if the submersion is deep, do not start the car, as this can quickly cause damage. Below are some key points about flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Severity: The severity of a flood-damaged vehicle depends on the height of the water submersion and whether the vehicle was started while submerged. 2. Below the Seats: If the water only reached below the seats, this height is still below the vehicle's air intake, as well as the fuse box and dashboard. After thorough cleaning, the impact on the vehicle is relatively minor. 3. Cleaning: During the cleaning process, it is necessary to replace the transmission fluid, engine oil, and brake fluid, as well as perform maintenance on the vehicle's braking system, exhaust pipe, and catalytic converter. This can further reduce the long-term effects of water damage on the vehicle's performance.
