What are the methods for identifying a flood-damaged car?
1 Answers
The methods for identifying a flood-damaged car are: 1. Open the hood to check whether there is sludge left on the radiator, air conditioning heat sink, or front radiator panel; 2. Check whether there is sludge around small engine components, the charging motor, starter motor, wire sockets, and the seams near the wheel wells; 3. Check whether there is residual sludge or a musty smell on the springs and inner fabric covers of the front and rear seats; 4. Check the hidden seams near the rear wheel wells in the trunk for residual sludge. The effects of a flooded car include: 1. The inner door panels, air conditioning ducts, crankcase, and vent holes of the differential may become moldy and corroded; 2. The car's seats and headliner fabric may retain stubborn stains and develop mold; 3. The lubricating grease in the four-wheel bearings and half-shafts may deteriorate after being soaked in water.
