Is It Serious If a Waded Vehicle's Engine Doesn't Take In Water?

It is not serious if a waded vehicle's engine doesn't take in water. Here are some precautions for driving through water: 1. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission models, you can shift into hill-climbing gear) and slowly and steadily drive through the waterlogged area while maintaining control of the steering wheel. Be aware of any potholes or gaps beneath the waterlogged road surface. 2. Do not restart the engine after stalling: If the vehicle stalls in a waterlogged area, remember not to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage due to the incompressibility of water, leading to bending or breaking of the piston connecting rod components, and in severe cases, even complete engine failure.
