What should I do if the vehicle is soaked in water? Can you move the vehicle? How to move away? How to repair it? Do you know some questions?
Generally speaking, the soaked water wheel is divided into two types. One is that the car is flooded when it is shut down, that is, when parking. In this case, as long as the vehicle is not started, the engine is generally not broken. Then look for the water marks of the car, and then find out where the highest water level is. Then there are generally two situations. One is that it is not more than half of the wheel. In this case, you can basically develop the engine with confidence. It is best to drive to a place with sunlight and dry it and clear away moisture.
The second type of car has been flooded, don’t fire it casually, check if you have bought insurance and wading insurance, don’t move the location of the car, just take photos and leave evidence, and then call the insurance company to settle the claim within two days. There are two things to pay attention to when making claims. The driver who drags your car may have some strange relationships with the repair shop that you can't guess. If he drags you to which repair shop, then you must refuse or call the brand's Four S store and ask him to solve the problem.
Second point If after testing, some reports will be made in general repair places, including some projects to be repaired and the approximate budget. The owner can only perform repairs after agreeing. If the owner does not buy it, the insurance company will only pay 80-85% of the repair costs, and the owner will pay the money himself. Next, I will tell you three steps to minimize the loss.
Step 1, move the car out of the flooded place quickly. If there is no electronic brake, just let the handbrake go directly. If there is one, it is best to ask the tow truck to come and drag it. Or if you are more courageous, first determine whether the dashboard and battery are flooded, and then charge the car, but it must not be ignited. You can try to loosen the electronic handbrake, and if it succeeds, you can push the cart away.
To the second step, you need to check whether the filter element of the filter of the air is dry, whether there is water or emulsified oil on the dipstick, and then open the lid of the email box to check if there are any water marks or water inside. If there are none of the above three, then the engine will probably be fine. But even after confirmation, you cannot ignite the fire immediately, and you still need to conduct an in-depth inspection.
The third step is to dry. After clearing all the moisture in the car, when the important parts have dried, you can try to ignite it. After testing all the important functions, if everything is normal, you can go to the repair shop to check the lighting components.
The second kind of flooded situation is that when you walk over the watery road, the engine suddenly stops. In this case, no matter where the water is flooded, do not restart it, because at this time, most of the time, water has already flowed in. Moreover, the car's loss insurance will not be paid for any compensation for this situation unless you buy the car's water wading insurance.
