How to Detect Water in the Engine?

[CharlotteRose]

The following are signs of water entering the engine: Stalling while driving: If the engine air filter element is soaked in water, causing the spark plugs to fail to ignite, the car will stall while driving. Overheating of the breather tube: In summer, it can damage lubrication, and hot air will emerge from the breather tube of the crankcase, causing the breather tube to overheat. Brake failure: If water enters the brake fluid and is vaporized under high temperatures, it can cause brake failure or even complete loss of function. If a small amount of water enters the engine, the vehicle may feel less powerful than usual. From the driver's perspective, they may intentionally press the accelerator pedal deeper to achieve the desired power with higher RPMs. This can lead to the piston seizing in the cylinder, the connecting rod bending or breaking due to the immense pressure, and in more severe cases, the broken connecting rod can puncture the engine block, resulting in serious consequences.
