Is it okay if the car didn't stall after wading through water?
1 Answers
If the car didn't stall after wading, it proves that the engine is functioning normally and the electrical system hasn't been damaged. However, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle should still be conducted. Here are the precautions to take after wading: 1. Check the electrical system: Inspect the electrical system, immediately remove any wrapping from electrical components, dry any wet areas, and properly install the fan belt; 2. Inspect the gearbox: Check all gearboxes for water ingress, ensure there are no debris blockages between the radiator fins, inspect tires for damage, and check the undercarriage for any entangled aquatic plants. Clean the vehicle promptly to restore braking effectiveness; 3. Examine engine components: Do not attempt to start the engine until you've confirmed that neither the electrical system nor engine components have been flooded, to avoid causing further damage.
