Will the Engine Have Problems If the Car Passes Through Deep Water Without Stalling?

If a car enters deep water without stalling, theoretically, there should be no impact on the engine. However, there are too many unpredictable factors, such as waves caused by passing vehicles that could splash into the air intake, or unknown underwater conditions like uneven terrain, all of which can affect the vehicle's ability to pass through. Here are some precautions to take when driving through deep water: When driving through deep water, shift into a low gear, maintain steady throttle, and proceed slowly. If the car stalls during the process, exit the vehicle immediately and do not attempt to restart the engine, as this could damage or even destroy the engine. Before entering the water, ensure a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. For unfamiliar sections, follow the path taken by the preceding vehicle, maintaining smooth fuel supply and moving forward at a slow, steady speed. Enter the water smoothly to avoid revving the engine, which could cause water to splash and stall the engine. Maintain steady throttle while driving and pass through the water in one go, avoiding gear changes, stops, or turns. If you notice water flow or wheel slippage while driving, stop immediately and do not force your way through. If the engine is still running, push the car out manually to prevent getting stuck deeper.
