If a vehicle has been submerged in water, it is recommended not to use it anymore. The relevant explanations are as follows: Brief Introduction: During vehicle usage, if flooding occurs, the extent of the water damage should be assessed. If water has entered the interior or reached a high level inside the vehicle, do not attempt to enter or move the vehicle. Instead, arrange for the vehicle to be towed to a repair facility for inspection and repairs as soon as possible. Additional Notes: If the vehicle stalls while driving through water or immediately after being submerged, do not attempt to restart or drive it. Contact a repair facility immediately for assistance. The primary reason for such stalling is that water has entered the engine through the intake system, and in severe cases, it may have entered the combustion chamber, causing the engine to stall.

How to Solve the Problem of Excessive Fuel Consumption in Opel Antara?

First, check the oxygen content in the exhaust gas from the tailpipe. If there are no abnormalities, the oxygen sensor fault might be ruled out. Also, pay attention to the condition of the spark plugs. If the spark plugs have been used for too long, it can prevent the gas from mixing properly, leading to carbon deposits. In addition to these mechanical wear-related faults, prolonged lack of cleaning of the chassis can also increase driving resistance. Apart from these common issues, incorrect tire pressure—either too high or too low—can also result in higher fuel consumption.

It could also be due to aging of the power signal cable. Try replacing it with a new one to see if the black screen issue is resolved. A malfunction in the power supply module can cause not only lagging but also severe cases of a black screen. Another possible cause is a defect in the circuit design.

Turn on the air conditioning to remove fog and moisture. The dehumidification function of the air conditioning system should be activated now. Every time you start the car, simultaneously turn on the air conditioning and open the windows and doors. This principle is similar to cooling the car by turning on the air conditioning before driving in summer. Apply wax to give your car an "invisible coat." While you may skip covering your car with a physical "jacket," the "invisible coat" is essential.
