How to Determine if a Vehicle Has Taken in Water

[VonLayla]

Use methods such as checking the engine cylinders for water ingress, inspecting the engine oil for water contamination, and examining the transmission for water infiltration to determine if a car has taken in water. Below is an introduction related to vehicle wading: 1. Introduction to Vehicle Wading: Vehicle wading, as the name suggests, refers to driving a vehicle on low-lying, waterlogged roads, passing through water. This usually occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas where poor drainage leads to water accumulation on the road. 2. Precautions for Vehicle Wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; during wading, maintain steady power; after wading, inspect the electrical system. If a car stalls in water, the main reason is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once a car stalls in water, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine damage. Instead, the vehicle should be towed immediately to a 4S shop for professional handling.
