Hello everyone! First of all, I want to send my support to everyone who is currently facing flooding situations. We understand that it’s a tough time, but remember, we’ll get through this together!
Today, we’re going to talk about a common concern for many: the issue of having our cars submerged in water due to flooding. But don’t worry, I’m here to share some helpful tips on how to care for your car after water immersion.
Thank you for the image from (theactive.net).
Let’s see what needs to be taken care of after your car has been submerged in water.
Survey the Damage First:
Once the water has receded, immediately check the car inside and out. Open the hood and inspect the engine as well. If you have comprehensive insurance, contact them right away to help with the repair costs.Don’t Start the Engine Yet:
Be patient! Don’t rush to start the car. If you do, water and debris could enter the engine, causing even more severe damage.Send the Car to a Workshop:
It’s best to have professionals handle it. Make sure to tell them how high the water rose, so they can perform a thorough inspection.What Needs to Be Repaired?
Engine:
You’ll definitely need to change the air filter, clean the intake manifold, and check the spark plugs and various sensors.Fluids:
Change all fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, differential oil, and coolant. It’s also a good idea to replace the coolant.Suspension:
Grease everything again, especially the drive shafts and wheel bearings. Otherwise, you might hear strange noises.Brakes:
Clean the brake system, and if possible, replace the brake fluid.Electrical System:
Dry out any moisture and check the ECU and transmission control module. These are very delicate components.
Interior Cleaning:
Clean the carpets, seats, remove any musty smells, clean the air conditioning system, and replace the air filter if possible.Watch Out for Rust:
Especially in areas where the car has previously been in an accident. If you see any rust, address it immediately, or it could spread throughout the car.
We know it looks like a lot and might feel overwhelming, but trust us, take it step by step and you’ll get through it. Your car will be back on the road, running smoothly like before!
