Recently, Typhoon "Lekima" has flooded the screen, and this mobile storm has caused disasters from Fujian to the Northeast in one breath.
A car owner sent three questions in front and back:
"What to do if my tires are soaked? " "What to do if my chassis is soaked? " "What to do if my seat is soaked? "
asked three questions in front and back, fully experiencing the despair of the car owner. It doesn’t matter, let’s talk about the “last mile” between the matter and the aftermath today, that is, the vehicle is soaked in water. Should we repair or sell it? If you want to repair , how should you repair it?
0 1
The flooding height is not the chassis
The specific repair or sale depends on the degree of water soaking of the vehicle itself. Specifically, it depends on where the sewage traces are the highest after the water recedes.
If the traces do not exceed the chassis , then congratulations, basically this typhoon has no effect on you. Just pay attention to whether the exhaust pipe is blocked before driving, and then check whether the three-way catalyst is damaged. The tire itself is not afraid of blisters.

The flooding height has just exceeded the chassis
Relatively speaking, the damage suffered by such a car is considered very minor.
But does not mean that it has not been damaged . Don’t be lucky when encountering this situation, thinking that as long as the vehicle is cleaned, you can get back on the road. There are many lines on the vehicle chassis. We must carefully check to ensure the safety of the lines, otherwise a short circuit accident may occur and cause the vehicle to catch fire.
In addition, if the air intake of your car is very low, this situation may damage your air filter and it also needs to be replaced.

The water flooded the chassis but not the seat
This kind of car is considered to have severe damage to , but if the car is relatively new, it still has the value of rescue.
In this case, the most important engine and transmission in the car have not been damaged yet, but all such as driving computers, seat sponges, seat belt warning devices and wiring harnesses are soaked in water. The seat sponges, carpets, etc. may be used after taking out cleaning, sterilization, and drying. However, if the seat belt warning devices, wiring harnesses and driving computers are soaked, they can only be replaced with new ones.
However, in this case, the driving computer is less damaged. Generally, only sports cars and other cars with low chassis will install the driving computer so low in order to save space.
And if you use electric seats, the entire seat has to be replaced.

Water flooded the seat and reached armrest box
The armrest box here refers to the storage box between the main driver and the co-pilot of the car, which is approximately at the height of the driver's waist.
If the water is gone here, the value of vehicle maintenance is not great. Although the engine and gearbox are probably not damaged at this time, the entire air conditioning system, window lifting system, transmission circuit and side airbag are probably broken.
In other words, more than 70% of the electronic systems on the car are damaged, and none of these cannot be repaired and can only be replaced. And even if all these parts are replaced, the vehicle still needs to be inspected every year to ensure driving safety.

The flooding height exceeds the instrument panel
This is probably the worst case. In this case, except for the iron sheet on the roof and the sunroof glass that are not broken, the remaining engine and other accessories are all soaked in water. Cars like
have almost no maintenance value for . Because if you want to repair it, in addition to replacing all electronic accessories on the car, you also need to disassemble, wash and sterilize the vehicle. The maintenance project is not much worse than a new car, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no hidden dangers or odors in the future.
Finally, if your car has water, it is recommended to replace all the oil and water (engine oil, coolant, brake oil , transmission oil ). Once these oil and water are contaminated by sewage, they are prone to absorb water and emulsification, which may cause damage to the engine and transmission.
Then the maintenance of the soaking wheel is a meticulous job. In addition to the simple replacement of electronic accessories, carpet cleaning and seat sponge cleaning must be careful, otherwise it will be easy to leave a odor afterwards. So it is recommended that you find a reliable repair shop to repair it.

Want to find an excuse to buy a new car
emmmm. If you are in this case, Xiao Shitou had to say: The car will get broken if it gets touched by water, and you can only change it to a new car when it encounters water!
