Is There Any Impact When Driving Through Water That Reaches Half of the Tire?
1 Answers
Driving through water that reaches half of the tire height is generally not a problem as long as water does not enter the vehicle's interior (this also depends on the car model and ground clearance). Here is some relevant information: 1. Risks: If you continue driving when water has entered the car, the ultimate consequence could be the piston seizing in the cylinder, causing the connecting rod to bend or break due to the immense pressure. In more severe cases, a broken connecting rod could puncture the cylinder block. 2. Precautions: Not all engines that have been submerged in water or stalled due to water ingress require replacement of connecting rods and pistons; the decision should be based on actual measurement results.
