1 Answers
Diesel engine being flooded with water can cause abnormal noises, odors, and electrical issues. Here are the relevant details: Abnormal noises: Water-damaged vehicles may have sand and gravel that cannot be completely cleaned out, remaining in gears or belts, leading to easier damage of certain components and initial abnormal noises. Odors: The leather materials on the dashboard may darken in color after being soaked, with some areas darker than others, and a musty smell may develop. Electrical issues: Electrical problems cannot be fully repaired, and the repaired circuits may fail again within as short as 3 months or as long as 1 year or more. Specific symptoms include the malfunction indicator light turning on without any actual faults, headlights turning on unexpectedly, and other power-related issues.
