If your vehicle is in that flood and you havent started your engine. Don’t start it!!!!!!! Even if the vehicle is submerged and the water goes down. It’s likely water has made its way into the engine. The first thing to do is open your engine air filter and check for moisture. If it’s moist or damp, DO NOT CRANK THAT VEHICLE!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START IT. . Allow the water go down, tow it away if possible. Get your mechanic to drain the engine oil immediately. Also drain the transmission fluid. Do not take the risk of trying to drive that vehicle. Let the mechanic disconnect the fuel sending unit ( fuel pump), pull out the spark plugs one after the other and then crank the engine. You want to make sure water in each cylinder is blown out of the engine by the compression / exhaust stroke. Once completed for all the cylinders. Connect the fuel pump ( easiest way is to remove the relay or the fuse ) and start the vehicle. It may idle rough. Leave it. Do not rev it. Allow that vehicle idle for some 30 minutes Once it’s up to operating temperature, ( because you have replaced your transmission fluid ) engage the gears one after the other. From P to R wait 5 seconds R to N wait another 5 seconds N to D wait again. D to N again N to R and R to Park. After this. You can drive. Personally once I get the vehicle going again, I’d replace both fluids after another week or two depending on how milky they look. Be safe everyone. Happy motoring. 7 Likes 1 Share

Very informative. Does this apply if it's salt water flooding? What about the computer? |

It's also advisable not to buy used cars from Lagos right now. A lot of car owners will be looking to sell them off after noticing several faults due to the flood. Finally I'll like to correct the impression that this heavy flooding only happened in Lagos Nigeria. Over 150 people died in Germany due to flood 3 days ago, lots of properties were lost in Arizona 2 days ago due to flood. And all those flood were worse than what we witnessed in Lagos. It happened everywhere! Africa, Europe, America and some parts of Asia. It was like God wanted to destroy the world with water then later changed his mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUzCzrfond8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spI0xAJlP5Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpv4Q9IEl7g |
