Is a Small Amount of Water Inside the Car a Problem?
1 Answers
Water ingress in a car can generally be divided into three scenarios: 1. Flooding: The first scenario is when the car is stationary and gets flooded. If you promptly call for a tow truck to take it to a repair shop and clean it properly, it can still be salvaged. 2. Water ingress while driving: The second scenario is when the car takes in water while moving. As long as you don't stall and restart the engine, there shouldn't be an issue. 3. Starter failure: The third scenario is when the engine cylinders are filled with a large amount of water, preventing the crankshaft from turning and the starter from working. Even if the ignition switch is turned on, the car won't start. This situation carries a high risk of requiring major repairs.
