How to Identify Flood-Damaged and Accident-Damaged Vehicles?
1 Answers
You can identify flood-damaged and accident-damaged vehicles by observing the condition of the car body. Here are the methods for identifying flood-damaged and accident-damaged vehicles: 1. Check the car locks: Look for signs of being pried open, damaged, or filled with glue. Then use the key to open each door to see if the door locks are from the same set and whether each door lock can be turned easily. Note that if turning is very difficult, or the key almost breaks before the door opens, it could be due to flooding, causing the central control motor to rust and malfunction. 2. Engine compartment: Check whether the mounting brackets for the lighting and signal lamp groups in the engine compartment are broken or loose. Inspect the wire connectors and sockets. If there is a large amount of mud or rust spots inside, it may indicate a flood-damaged vehicle. 3. Engine compartment inspection: Examine the wires and vacuum pipes on the engine block, and check for mud traces in the gaps between the high-voltage ignition coil and spark plugs. Determine whether the aging and cracking of the pipes and wires match the vehicle's age, and check the fixing of the fuel injector. Rust on springs can also help determine the likelihood of a flood-damaged vehicle.
