Which Part of the Car Should Not Be Submerged in Water, the Front or the Rear?
1 Answers
Both the front and rear of the car should not normally be submerged in water. The front mainly includes the engine compartment, while the rear contains the exhaust pipe. Below is extended information about water damage to cars: Submersion while stationary: If a vehicle is submerged while stationary, the engine is generally not damaged, and the owner can claim compensation if they have purchased vehicle damage insurance. However, if the owner attempts to start the car and drive it out of the submerged area, causing engine damage, even if they have purchased water submersion insurance, the claim will not be honored. Malfunction while driving through water: If the owner has purchased water submersion insurance, also known as engine special loss insurance, they can file a claim with the insurance company. If only vehicle damage insurance is purchased without water submersion insurance, only parts other than the engine can be compensated. Engine damage caused by restarting the engine while submerged will not be covered by insurance, even if water submersion insurance is purchased.
