What to Do If Water Enters the Car Exhaust Pipe?
1 Answers
If water enters the car's exhaust pipe, you can take it to a 4S shop for a simple cleaning and drying process. This will allow the engine to function normally again, and the repair cost is relatively low. If the water exposure is shallow and not severe, you can also inspect the electronic systems and check for any accumulated water under the car body yourself. If you must start the engine, first remove the spark plugs to drain some of the water from the engine before reinstalling them and attempting to start the engine again. Below is relevant information about driving through water: 1. Introduction to Driving Through Water: Driving through water, as the name suggests, refers to driving a vehicle on low-lying or waterlogged roads, passing through water. This typically occurs during rainy weather when poor drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. 2. Precautions for Driving Through Water: Before entering water, observe the road conditions carefully. While in the water, maintain steady power. After exiting the water, check the electrical systems. If the car stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once the car stalls, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine damage. Instead, immediately tow the car to a 4S shop and let professionals handle the situation.
