Will the engine get water inside when it rains?
1 Answers
Rain will not cause water to enter the engine. The engine's air intake goes through the air filter, which is located in the engine compartment and is covered by the hood, so water cannot get in. Unless the hood is left open or the air filter is removed during rain. If water enters the engine, it can easily cause the engine to stall. If the engine does not stop running, water may enter the spark plugs, leading to engine stalling. Restarting the engine in such a condition can cause the engine valves to be damaged, and in severe cases, the engine may be completely ruined. Additional information: 1. Water ingress insurance: Also known as engine special loss insurance, it is a derivative of vehicle damage insurance. This insurance is an additional coverage that car owners can purchase specifically for the engine. It mainly provides compensation for engine damage caused by driving through waterlogged roads or submersion. 2. Applicable scenarios: When the insured vehicle is submerged up to the exhaust pipe or intake pipe due to heavy rain or flooding, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or uses inertia to start it; or when the vehicle is started without necessary repairs after being exposed to heavy rain or flooding.
