How to Quickly and Easily Identify a Flood-Damaged Car?
1 Answers
Simple and quick methods to identify a flood-damaged car are: 1. Open the hood and check if there is mud residue on the radiator, air conditioning heat sink, or the front panel of the radiator; 2. Inspect small components near the engine, such as the charging motor, starter motor, wire sockets, and the seams around the wheel wells for mud; 3. Check the springs and inner fabric of the front and rear seats for mud residue and a musty smell; 4. Examine the hidden seams around the rear wheel wells in the trunk for mud residue. The effects of a car being flooded include: 1. The inner door panels, air conditioning ducts, crankcase, and exhaust vents in the differential may become moldy and corroded; 2. The seats and headliner fabric may retain stubborn stains and develop mold; 3. The lubricating grease in the wheel bearings and half-shafts may degrade and deteriorate after being soaked.
