What are the reasons for abnormal noises after a vehicle wades through water?
1 Answers
There are many reasons for abnormal noises after a car wades through water, mainly including water ingress in the brake pads, foreign objects trapped between the brake pads and calipers, water ingestion in the exhaust pipe, and foreign objects lodged in the chassis. 1. Water ingress in the brake pads: If the car wades through shallow water and water splashes onto the brake pads, it is normal to hear a squealing noise when braking. In this case, simply drive normally until the water on the brake pads dries up. 2. Foreign objects on the brake pads: If the car wades through deep water, foreign objects such as plastic bags, paper, and mud in the water may get trapped on the brake pads, causing abnormal noises when braking. In this situation, the brake pads need to be cleaned.
