The usual damage is due to water entering the air intake. If this had happened the engine would be blown as water does not compress. So if it starts and runs ok it's fine.
you will be fine ...the damage is done when the engine is running and you drive it through deep water ..the water will enter the engine either through the air filter ...or mainly the exhaust ...when driving through water you must keep the engine revs up ...2000 rpms ..and do not allow reves to drop ..thats the danger time ...as long as engine is revving the exhaust is blowing ..its when you stop revving water is sucked in to engine ..into cylinders ..and the hydraulic action will bend the conrods and destroy engine
That will have done absolutely nothing to your car
help, can some-one give me a push start. lol.
I have a sedan with normal suspension level/height. Sorry I don't know the exact measurement but it's pretty much like every other sedan on the streets. It's not lowered btw. It rained hard last night and the flood reached almost 1 inch above the ankle level. The flood did not reach the doors however: just the lower part of the side skirts. The muffler is also safe, but the lower part of the front bumper was reached by the flood. My question is would that be enough to cause any damage to the engine? I did not try to drive on the flooded streets. Just parked it outside.. If there's any damage(s), what and how can I manage those? Thanks in advance..
