What to Do If the Vehicle Takes in Water Without a Second Ignition Attempt?
1 Answers
If the engine stalls, do not attempt to restart the vehicle immediately. Instead, call your insurance company and a repair service to await rescue. After towing the vehicle to the repair facility, inspect the extent of water ingress into the engine. Determine whether the engine connecting rods need replacement based on the severity of the water intrusion. If water has entered the combustion chamber or the engine connecting rods show slight deformation, replacement is absolutely necessary.
