What Causes Water Ingress in the Roewe RX5 Hybrid Engine?

[Camargo]

Roewe RX5 engine water ingress can be categorized into two types. The most common is engine flooding, which requires promptly calling a tow truck to send the vehicle to a repair shop. The other type is caused by damage to individual components. If not addressed in time, it can easily lead to faults such as cylinder scoring or bearing seizure, and in severe cases, the engine may even be rendered completely unusable. Below is additional information: The sealing ring at the lower part of the cylinder liner is designed to prevent the leakage of engine oil and coolant. However, after prolonged exposure to certain pressures, aging of the sealing ring is inevitable. If the coolant is of poor quality, it may also have a corrosive effect, leading to leakage into the engine oil.
