Will Water Enter the Car If It Doesn't Stall After Wading?

[SanKing]

If the car doesn't stall after wading, the engine is not flooded, but other parts of the car may have taken in water. When wading through water, maintain a low speed, as driving too fast can increase the actual wading depth. It's also best not to stop or shift gears during this time. Even if the car doesn't stall after wading, maintenance checks are still necessary. Drive through the water at a steady speed in a low gear with moderate to high throttle, as excessive speed can create large waves or splashes, increasing the actual wading depth and making it more likely for the car to encounter problems. If the car stalls unexpectedly after wading, do not attempt to restart it immediately. Instead, take measures to tow the car to a safe area with less water as soon as possible. It's important to remove moisture from the brake pads promptly, especially for cars with drum brakes, as failure to do so can result in loss of braking after wading, posing a significant safety hazard.
