What to Do When the Engine Takes in Water and Emits White Smoke?

[MacLouis]

Engine takes in water and emits white smoke specific causes and solutions are as follows: When the vehicle passes through a waterlogged area, water splashes onto the engine: In most cases, due to the low temperature of the water encountering relatively high-temperature components, such as the exhaust manifold, white smoke may emerge from the front hood, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if the vehicle is still moving through water at this time, it should slow down and pay attention to whether the water level is too high. Solution: Observe the engine coolant temperature to see if it is overheating and boiling. If the white smoke is caused by coolant leakage or boiling, the vehicle should be parked in a safe and shady place, and wait for the engine to cool down naturally before handling. If the white smoke is caused by a faulty fuel injector, do not start the vehicle again and contact maintenance personnel immediately for assistance. If the white smoke is caused by the braking system, park the vehicle by the roadside and let the brake pads cool down naturally.
