How to deal with the vehicle after wading in water

In the event that we encounter continuous rainstorms, the sewers and too late to go to the water, so that the road surface water is too much, the vehicle in the deep water section of the road, to a certain extent, will cause some damage to the car parts, that the vehicle in the water should be dealt with after it? What can we do for the car? Once improperly handled, will bring a lot of trouble to the vehicle, in order to our love of the car, and we do not bulge the wallet, come to learn about it!

If your vehicle has ever been involved in water, then you need to pay extra attention to the aftercare. In fact, after the vehicle is involved in the water is nothing more than "sun" and "repair" these two points. We can choose a reasonable treatment according to the actual situation:

First of all, we have to dismantle and clean up the lines and sensors of the vehicle, electrical appliances, trip computer, etc., and use a hair dryer or compressed air to thoroughly blow dry the above parts.

If the degree of water involved is relatively deep, we should take off the battery cable as soon as possible to prevent damage to the electrical equipment in the car.

Open the door to release the water, ventilation and air, as soon as possible, the car soaked interior parts removed, after careful cleaning and disinfection, and then put into the sun sterilization.

If the vehicle has been parked for more than two hours, there is still water dripping from the chassis, it is necessary to lift the vehicle to double-check whether the chassis related parts have water.

In addition, repair and replace damaged parts if necessary:

※Check the exhaust pipe for water ingress to avoid impurities clogging the three-way catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor.

※There are two filters that must be replaced if water has entered them: the air filter and the air conditioning filter.

※Check if water has entered the engine oil, transmission, and brake system. If water enters the system, it may cause emulsification of the engine oil, accelerating engine wear, and the transmission may wear excessively due to abnormal gear oil. Similarly, deteriorated brake fluid can lead to brake failure or poor 

braking effect, so it is recommended to change the oil filter at the same time.

※ Be sure to perform a systematic check of the engine to prevent water ingress that is not drained from the engine, resulting in top bending of the engine connecting rods and damage to the engine.

After a layer of inspection steps, but also need to carry out a detailed inspection of the vehicle, the vehicle exterior, engine compartment and chassis parts of the careful cleaning to ensure that there are no dead ends, so as to avoid water-soaked places where the occurrence of rust and corrosion, have time to take the car to the sun, in short, the vehicle as far as possible do not wade in the water, don't panic after wading in the water, calm and collected check it out clearly, clean up what's going on there is no problem.
