Heavy rain in Henan caused hundreds of thousands of cars to be flooded, and water-soaked trucks have become a topic of concern for everyone. Where did those water-soaked trucks go? Can you buy a water truck? How to quickly identify water trucks? Today the auto repair master will tell you.
water wheel is a car that has been soaked in water. The degree of damage of the vehicle is different depending on the depth and duration of the water soaked in water. However, no matter how the water is, the water wheel has certain danger coefficients, such as the circuit is prone to short-circuiting. Can you buy
soaked in water? As an auto repair master, I suggest everyone be cautious. There are three main reasons:
1. Although the soaked water truck passed through the used car market and was then renovated, the electronic components and lines inside were damaged, and even if it was repaired, it was difficult to meet the previous standards.
2. The risk factor of the water soaking truck is closely related to the depth of the flood. If the water level exceeds the roof and the soaking time is long, or the water level floods the center console, most parts of the vehicle may face the possibility of rust. Even if this kind of car is well repaired, its service life will be relatively short, and the safety factor is not high when driving for a long distance. For example, sudden outbreaks of vehicle shut down midway.
3. If the water level only floods the position above the wheel, that is, the wheel has just been flooded. When the water level exceeds the chassis of the car, it can become a water soaking truck. If the water level exceeds the dipstick, it is called a semi-soaking truck. If the water level exceeds the hood, it is a full water soaking truck.
No matter how much the vehicle is soaked in water, there are certain safety risks, such as electronic system failure, engine failure or transmission failure, so be very cautious, otherwise it will be troublesome to repair later. For example, if the gearbox is watered, it may slip or shake if it is not serious, and it will be stuck when shifting gears. If it is serious, it will require a major repair.
What if we quickly identify the water wheel? There are 7 more intuitive and simple methods:
1. You should smell the smell in the car.
Although the water-soaked truck is difficult to distinguish the appearance after repair, because the vehicle rarely undergoes sheet metal overhaul, it cannot be seen from the appearance alone. You have to smell the smell inside the car. No matter what method you take to remove the smell after repair, as long as the door is closed for a long time, after opening the door, you will smell a moldy smell, which will be difficult to remove for a long time.
2. Check the details of the vehicle for corrosion and rust.
Although the water soaking truck that enters the used car market has no obvious appearance after renovation, some gaps are visible, such as the joints of the car doors and the gaps around the engine, there will be some residual mud and sand. Another important part is the trunk. After soaking in the vehicle, there will be rust on the trunk. Even after removing the rust, you can still see spots.
3. Check whether there is mud or rust on the bottom and trunk of the spare tire.
The bottom and trunk of the spare tire are relatively low. When renovating the vehicle, sometimes the cleaning is incomplete. You can see from this detail.
4. The softness and hardness of the vehicle seats change significantly after being soaked in water.
If it is a new car, or a vehicle that has not been soaked in water, even if the seat has been sitting for many years, the material inside looks uniform, which means that the softness and hardness are relatively natural. If it is a vehicle that has been soaked in water, even if it is processed, it will feel like it is clumping, which means that the softness and hardness are uneven, making it uncomfortable to do.
5. Check whether the headlights have yellowed water marks that have been soaked.
If the headlights have yellow marks, the car may be soaked in fruit, but one thing should be cautious. Some people deliberately replace the light with a new one. If it does not collide, the headlights may be a refurbished vehicle that has been soaked in water.
6. Viewing from small details often leads to unexpected gains.
Of course, there are small details such as seat belts. Sometimes, you can judge them through these small parts, because even if many vehicles after soaking in water have been renovated, if you observe carefully, you can always find some clues, especially in the less conspicuous corner areas, which can be seen at a glance.
We need to observe the details of the vehicle by looking; to judge the moldy vehicle by smelling; to judge whether the vehicle's parts have been soaked by touch.
7. It can be distinguished by the car VIN code, that is, the vehicle identification number, or the frame number.
As long as the abnormal situation of the vehicle is viewed on the professional information platform according to the VIN code.
or above are some of the views and identification methods of water-soaking trucks that I have summarized. I hope that everyone can choose a truly satisfactory vehicle when choosing a car, so that they will not choose a water-soaking truck without knowing it in the used car market.
