How to Determine if a Car Has Been Flooded After Heavy Rain?
1 Answers
Modern vehicles are composed of a large number of electronic devices, which generally receive little waterproof treatment. When the water level during wading is higher than the engine's air intake, water can directly enter the cylinders, forming a mixture of air and water. If water submerges the car doors, it is highly likely that the interior will get flooded. Rainwater is not clean, and mold can quickly ruin the fabric and leather materials inside the car. A manual transmission might still be drivable if it gets flooded, but an automatic transmission is particularly vulnerable to water damage. Water typically enters the automatic transmission through the vent.
