Should a car be inspected after driving through water?

[Ronald]

Small cars should be inspected after driving through water. Because after a sedan drives through deep water, it may cause short circuits in the car's wiring, poor contact, water ingress into the engine, and reduced lifespan. Air filter clogging: After water enters the air filter, it causes the air filter to clog, resulting in insufficient air intake for the engine and thus insufficient power and weak acceleration. The air filter should be removed and replaced. Exhaust pipe water ingress: When water submerges the exhaust pipe, some water may remain inside, affecting the engine's exhaust flow and consequently its power. After the exhaust gases expel the water, the engine's power will return to normal. Brake pad sticking: After driving through water, the brake pads and brake discs may rust and stick, creating resistance while driving. If the situation is not severe, the rust can be removed by the high temperatures generated during driving. If the situation is severe, new brake pads and brake discs need to be replaced.
