Car Flooding. Help Please❗ by RadioMOUTH(m): 11:57am On Sep 02, 2021 |
I drive a lexus es 330... I was going home today thinking I could scale through the flood... the engine turned off... I managed to come out of the car and its still in the water now The rain is getting worse and the car is covered to almost the roof now... Can this car start again after now? Or how long can it stay in the water The damages too |

Don't start the vehicle, a mechanic to do that. The vehicle should be towed then air dry. Clean and dry ECU aka brainbox, fuse box. Remove spark plugs and kick engine to spill water out Check if engine oil is contaminated then change Clean and dry AF sensor, airfiter Do all these before starting the vehicle 9 Likes |

Look for a truck that can enter that water to tow that car from the water or call for help from guys to push it from there before you post anything here again. 3 Likes |

Any flood dat makes u doubt scaling through it has a high chance of getting u stuck, besides why would u even enter water way u no see where it ends? Get a helicopter with a magnet to airlift the car for u. On a serious note, d longer it says there, the more d damage 4 Likes |

RadioMOUTH:The more it stays,the more damage via soaking of d electrical components. Find guys to push it out for you,or if you have a neighbour that has a SUV,get a rope and let d person help you tow it to dry grounds. Sun dry for 2 days,remove top cylinder and dry the combustion chamber on top of the pistons. Drain and replace both engine and gear oil. That is the only hope you have of that car coming back close or or normal. 4 Likes |

id4sho:that car will only dry in 3 days during harmattan,in this wet humid damp weather it will take a long time to dry out,the main concern in this type of situation is the electrical side,sensors,ECU,the hydrolock engine can easily be sorted out by a good mech and transmission oil changed,only the electrics will give some problems 3 Likes |
Re: Car Flooding. Help Please❗ by okoroemeka(m): 9:28pm On Sep 02, 2021 |
ogbuefi677:i don't think it is necessary to remove top cylinder,to expel water from cylinder bore,just remove plugs and crank engine the water will come out,add fuel+oil through the plug hole and continue cranking,the whole water will go,but change oil before cranking because oil maybe contaminated with water. |
