What are the effects of driving through deep water on a car?
1 Answers
After driving through deep water, it may cause short circuits in the car's wiring, poor contact, water ingress into the engine, and reduced lifespan. Water entering the engine after wading can lead to issues such as insufficient power and shaking. Prolonged use under such conditions may cause deformation or even fracture of the piston connecting rod, ultimately resulting in engine damage. Precautions for vehicle wading: Cleaning the chassis: During rainy days, there is often a lot of water on the roads, mixed with various debris like fallen leaves. When a vehicle wades through water, these debris can easily adhere to gaps in the chassis, leading to rust over time. Therefore, it's essential to clean the chassis after wading. Checking the brakes: After successfully wading through water, avoid speeding up immediately. Instead, continue driving at a low speed for a while and apply the brakes several times on dry sections to prevent brake failure and potential accidents.
