Basically semi-disabled, but you can do the following three things to reduce the loss.
The first thing: the first thing to insure is to insure. Don't think that you can't insure without water insurance. In fact, if you don't have water insurance, you can take insurance, just car damage insurance, provided that your car is parked there normally and soaked, for example, in an underground parking lot. Remember, never light a fire twice. Under normal circumstances, the soaking car is relatively simple to handle, and the insurance company will generally make claims normally. However, if the fire is struck for the second time, it will be very troublesome to maintain, and even the engine is easy to be scrapped directly. But in either case, my personal opinion is to take out insurance as soon as possible.
The second thing: there are two ways to fix this. If you don't have any reliable friends or know a very big garage, my personal suggestion is to repair the car from a 4S shop. Why? Because the soaking car really can't be repaired by ordinary shops, some people used to repair it cheaply in street shops. As a result, after half a year, the car frequently went wrong, and even many important accessories were not handled well. It can be said that the problem is serious. The maintenance of the soaking car is actually to replace all replaceable accessories. Even so, it is easy to rust, age and so on. So don't be greedy and cheap. Some shops really don't maintain the engine of the water car in place, and there are problems at both ends in three days.
The third thing: selling cars. Some people say that it is no problem to drive the soaking car after it is perfectly repaired. My personal suggestion is that it must be sold within 1 year, otherwise it will be very troublesome and difficult to sell after two years. In fact, for most cars, there are too few cars that can really change parts at 100%, and most of them are mainly based on maintenance. Basically, this model 1-2 years later will have various major problems, the most common of which is rust, which is basically irreversible. In addition, a friend received a 2-year-old soaking car before, and the brakes and gearbox were all kinds of problems, which was really annoying. So, be sure to sell it quickly. Don't think it's really good to fix it. If the repaired soaking car is all right, it will never be sold so cheaply.
Take more photos and leave a message before the trailer is towed away!
Cars that can't move in the water have the same result as noodles that don't want to eat in the water.
Either fold it into almost scrap iron and sell it to others; Or drag it to the vehicle scrapping center for scrapping.
What, you want to fix it for your own use?
See if the instant noodles soaked in water can be restored to their previous state.
The circuit part, lighting part, motor and so on of the car soaked in water are damaged (assuming that your car can still be used after being soaked in water and wrung dry). ), I am afraid when driving every minute. You were driving fast and safely. Driving an unsafe car will cause trouble.
Look at the soaked noodles and don't eat them. Will it smell after a while?
Why do you say that? A car soaked in water will have dirt on the interior, seats, fabrics and cracks, and there will be odor in the car after a while; Parting Zhong Zhen will make you want to stick your head out of the window.
What, you said you had water insurance?
Come on, come on. Your car was soaked in water, right? Is there a second start? Yes! ? Then you can play by yourself PS: Water-related insurance does not compensate vehicles that start twice.
That is to say, your car stalled while soaking in water or crossing the water. All you have to do is open the door and leave, never mind the stalled car, as long as you start it again. The insurance company will not pay for it. )
then what
Drive with foresight, and stop with foresight.
How to use the car when there is water in rainy days, please refer to the following methods:
1, judge the wading depth. First of all, when you meet a wading section, you must never rush in. You can observe the passing of other vehicles to judge the wading depth. The water depth should not exceed the air inlet. The direct judgment method is that the water depth should not exceed 2/3 of the tire depth, and it cannot pass if it exceeds 3/4 of the tire depth.
2. If it is judged that you can wade through, you should resist slow and smooth traffic and follow the route of the preceding vehicle. Don't shift gears at low speed, ensure that the vehicle has enough power to leave the wading section, don't accelerate or turn sharply, and don't get too close to the preceding vehicle. You should wait until the preceding car has completely passed before passing in turn.
3. When driving forward, pay attention to the target ahead and don't face the splash to avoid dizziness and mistakes.
4. In case of wheel slipping, idling, sinking, etc. during wading, stop immediately, keep the engine running, and don't continue to accelerate to prevent getting deeper and deeper. In this case, other vehicles can be used or the vehicle can be towed backwards from the water.
5. Turn off the engine when wading, and don't start it again. If the engine stops in stagnant water, do not try to start the engine again. Because water may enter the engine cylinder, if it is re-ignited, the engine connecting rod will bend due to the "water hammer effect" and even break and damage the engine cylinder!
6. When the vehicle is wading, the maintenance and inspection of the vehicle is particularly important. The engine, circuit and chassis of the vehicle should be inspected in detail, and parts can be replaced and rust-proof treatment can be selected if necessary. Otherwise, it will shorten the service life of the car and even cause an accident. It is recommended to find a professional repair shop or 4S shop for maintenance.
I. Sudden rainstorm during driving
When the vehicle is running normally, I believe many drivers, especially female drivers, will be nervous if they encounter sudden rainstorm. At this time, you should calm down, don't be too flustered, first check whether the engine of the car is working normally and whether the brake system is sensitive, and then put it into low gear to drive smoothly.
Second, try not to stop halfway when driving in rainy days.
In heavy rain, most roads were flooded. When the car is driving on a road with water, don't slam on the accelerator, and try to avoid stopping, shifting gears or turning sharply unless there is deep water ahead. Especially on muddy roads, even if you need to turn, you should step on the brakes to slow down, so as to prevent the vehicle from slipping because of the sand and tires on the road.
Third, find a distant fixed target to avoid disturbing the line of sight.
When driving in rainy days, you should hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, keep your eyes on the fixed target in the distance, and don't look at the water flow or spray, so as to avoid the illusion of shaking your eyes, which will make the vehicle deviate from the normal wading route and cause an accident.
Four, found in front of the car wading, should stop to observe.
Driving in rainy days, if you find a car crossing the road with deep water in front, you'd better not follow it directly. You should stop and observe first, and wait until the car in front reaches the other side before driving. Of course, at this time, you should judge the size gap between the vehicle you are driving and the observed vehicle. If the observed vehicle is a big truck and you are driving a car, then the big truck can pass, but you may not be able to.
In addition, if you find a vehicle wading in the rain, how to deal with it correctly?
First of all, judge whether the vehicle is flooded and how much it is flooded.
Judgment when driving: After the heavy rain, the car is wading. When driving out of the deep water area, the manual transmission vehicle can pull over, pull the handbrake, step on the clutch, and then increase the throttle. If the speed is increased, the incoming water will be discharged automatically. If it is closed in water, it must not be started again at this time. If it is started, the impact will be very large, which will cause the engine connecting rod to bend or even twist, and the piston may break through.
Static judgment: If your car is in a static state, you can judge whether the car is flooded by checking the air filter. The air filter is made of paper. If it is dry or a little wet, it means that the car is not flooded. If the filter element is wet, the car will get water. This is the simplest and most effective way to judge whether the car is flooded.
Second, what should I do if the vehicle turns off when it is driving?
For ordinary cars, when the water level reaches more than 20 cm (SUV with higher chassis is raised to 30 cm), there is a risk that water will enter the engine.
There are two main ways to inject water into the engine:
1. Due to the low position of the engine intake pipe, rainwater is sucked into the engine when the vehicle wades;
2. Because the exhaust port of the exhaust pipe is lower than the water level line, rainwater is sucked into the engine from the exhaust port when the vehicle wades.
After the engine enters the water, it will inevitably turn off. Because the rainwater entering the cylinder has no lubricating effect, if it is started blindly after flameout, the engine may be scrapped because of cylinder pulling.
The correct way is to push the car to a higher place where there is no water, call the insurance company, and then drag the car to the repair shop to check the water inflow.
In addition, after the wading fire vehicle arrives at the repair shop, it is necessary to check whether there is water stain at the engine end of the intake and exhaust system. If rainwater has entered the engine cylinder, the engine must be disassembled to remove the accumulated water. While checking the water inlet of the engine, it is recommended to check whether the gearbox, transfer case and differential are flooded. If the above parts are flooded, the internal lubricating oil needs to be replaced before they can be used continuously.
3. What should I do if the vehicle enters the water when parking?
If the vehicle is parked in a low-lying place with poor drainage facilities, it is likely that the vehicle will be flooded in rainy days. After the vehicle enters the water, the external water will enter the vehicle through the gap of the door and the external circulation channel of the air conditioner. Generally, the carpet under the vehicle seat will be completely soaked. If the external water level is high, it is likely that even the battery and some vehicle electrical equipment will be damaged by flooding.
For vehicles that are seriously flooded when parked, the repair shop will generally empty all the things in the cab. Then, check the wiring, computer and other components to see if they are short-circuited or burned. If necessary, replace the damaged parts. As for the removed and soaked carpet interior, it can be washed and dried.
Therefore, in rainy days, please try to park your vehicle in a higher place to avoid being flooded when parking.
Fourth, how to deal with the accumulated water in the car?
If there is water in the car on rainy days because the window or skylight is not closed properly, it must be cleaned up in time.
There are several sealant plugs under the vehicle chassis. Opening the sealing plug can release the accumulated water in the cabin. However, due to the strong water absorption of interior decoration materials, the floor glue should be removed and placed in a spacious space to facilitate the evaporation of water. In addition, you can drive the car to a ventilated place, open all the windows and trunk, and let the car dry naturally. Pay attention to turn on the air conditioner after installing the floor glue, and turn the vehicle circulation switch to internal circulation, so that the water vapor in the compartment can be discharged outside the vehicle through the air conditioning system. This is a very fast dehumidification method in summer.
Five, the engine after wading disposal method
There is no doubt that the engine is the first choice for inspection. First, check whether there is water in the engine. If there is water, first remove the spark plug, artificially cut off the oil supply system and the ignition system, and then run the engine with the motor, so that the water entering the engine can be discharged smoothly.
Finally, let's talk about insurance tips: if the vehicle is immersed in water for a long time and ignited for the second time in the water, even if the insurance company buys all risks (main insurance), the insurance company will not pay for it, because forcibly starting the vehicle in the water belongs to human secondary injury. Therefore, it is recommended to buy water insurance!
Water-related insurance: an additional risk of vehicle damage insurance, which ensures that the engine damage caused by the vehicle wading on the stagnant road or being flooded can be compensated. Even if the owner forcibly starts the engine after being damaged by flooding, the insurance company still pays.
Don't move, don't light the fire. Call the insurance company, then contact the insurance company and go to the repair shop to troubleshoot. Thereby reducing losses.
