Whether a car will be scrapped after being flooded depends on the extent of the flooding. If the intake system is severely flooded, the car might be scrapped. Solutions for a flooded car: 1. Do not start the car if it has been flooded, as the intake system could draw water into the engine, causing damage; 2. Contact a towing company to transport the car to a repair shop; 3. After being flooded, the car's computer board and wiring harness must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent short circuits or damage to the computer board. The car's chassis must also be treated to prevent rust; 4. The car should be completely stripped, including removing the floor mats, to drain all water from the body. Rust-proofing measures should be reapplied, and it is recommended to replace the wiring harness and computer board to avoid safety hazards.
