What parts of a flooded car need to be repaired?
1 Answers
Engine, transmission, all vehicle fluids, bearing components, wiring harnesses, etc. The following are specific details about the relevant parts: Engine: If the vehicle did not stall or was not started after being submerged, the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter need to be replaced, along with the sealing rings during the process of draining water from the engine components. If the engine stalled or was restarted, in addition to the aforementioned parts that need replacement, the engine may require an overhaul, including replacing the engine connecting rod, depending on the situation. Transmission: Transmission fluid and transmission oil filter. Bearing components: If the water level reached the engine hood and the submersion time was relatively long, it is recommended to replace bearing-related parts in the vehicle. Otherwise, due to rust, issues such as abnormal noises or damage may occur later, such as the generator, air conditioning compressor, and four-wheel vehicle bearings.
