The car is in water. This is a very difficult thing to encounter in normal times. Because when driving, people don’t say that they see a puddle, they drive the car in, or deliberately park the car at the beach. Therefore, as long as they are used normally, there will be very few problems with water entering the car, but this does not rule out some unexpected situations.
For example, a heavy rain, the car happens to park in a lower terrain, which can easily lead to water in the vehicle. Many car owners do not have enough understanding of the concept of water in the vehicle, and believe that as long as the car enters the water in, it is a water truck, and they can only go to a used car dealer to sell it. After the car dealer checks, they will not explain too much to us, so they directly say that this is a water truck, and then press the price to the lowest. Today, let’s talk about how to judge whether the car is a water truck, and don’t be deceived by the car dealer.
When identifying a water soaking truck, the best way is to decide based on the degree of water flooding. When the water level exceeds the chassis but the tires are not flooded, this is called a water soaking truck. The vehicle has no big problem. Everyone just needs to go to the repair shop to prevent rust later, and the car is still driving normally.
When the water level floods the tires and water in the car is in, this is called a water soaking truck, but it is a semi-soaking water. When the hood is flooded, or the whole car has been flooded, that is, it is full water. Whether it is semi-soaking or full water, I personally recommend not to buy it. Even if the subsequent repair is good, the vehicle only needs to park in a wet place, such as an underground garage. Once it is parked for a long time, it will easily regain moisture, resulting in circuit failures and the cost of inspection and maintenance is not low.
So when you see a car in water, don’t panic to define the car as a water-soaked truck, and don’t listen to the exaggerated and strange talks of the car dealer and make the car worthless. In addition, when you encounter a vehicle soaking in water, don’t try to start the engine, especially a fuel vehicle, as this will cause secondary damage to the engine, and the insurance company is not responsible for compensation. The correct way to deal with it is to get out of the car quickly, wait for the water to recede, and call your own car insurance to inquire about the handling method.
If it is water-soaked, cut off the vehicle circuit and drag the trailer to the repair shop for disassembly inspection, especially the cushion under the seat to avoid mold. After inspection and repair, if you confirm that there is no water in the engine and other key machinery, you can park the vehicle in a sun-dried place, then start the car and run at idle speed.
As for whether you can buy a water truck after it is repaired, I suggest that private car owners should not try it. One is that there is no way to drive the vehicle normally in the future. The other is that the price of the water truck is actually not much cheaper except for luxury cars. If you have this money, you might as well buy a new car. Secondly, those who buy water trucks for wedding cars and also know car repair friends can actually buy it. The price is cheap and can also help you make money. If there is a problem, you can repair it at a suitable price. This is a good choice.
