Will driving through deep water affect the car?
1 Answers
It may cause the engine to take in water and stall. Here are some relevant introductions about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction to vehicle wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving a vehicle on low-lying, waterlogged roads, passing through water. This usually occurs in rainy weather when poor drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. 2. Precautions for vehicle wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; during wading, maintain stable power; after wading, check the electrical system. If the car stalls in water, the main reason 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 failure. Instead, the car should be towed to a 4S shop immediately for professional handling.
