Is It Worth Repairing a Fully Submerged Car?

[JosephineMarie]

Repairing a fully submerged car is indeed meaningful. Here are the impacts of a water-damaged car: 1. Musty Odor: A water-damaged car refers to a situation where water has entered the cabin, submerging the chassis, floor, and even the engine. The vehicle contains a large amount of sponge, fireproof cotton, insulation cotton, and other fabric materials in the interior and flooring, which are highly absorbent. If these materials are not replaced and only dried, the internal moisture may not be completely eliminated, leading to a strong musty odor during hot summers. This odor can sometimes be harmful to health. 2. Engine: The electronic modules related to the engine are highly prone to short circuits. The vehicle's control computer, akin to the brain of the car, is usually located in the engine compartment with minimal dust protection. After being submerged in water, the central computer and wiring in the car are highly susceptible to short circuits. Issues with these modules can range from minor functional failures to severe vehicle damage or even fire caused by short circuits.
