gentlepal: Hello pals I have clean Tokunbo car for Sale,its Nissan Altima 2005 model.Canadian spec.its affodable.

lomomike: It could do considerable damages to low slung sedans and sports cars because of their low ride heights, water could come in contact with electrical components such as wiring harnesses, ECU and other electrical components, necessitating expensive repairs. Water could seep through to the cabin's footwell especially if there are holes that was bored during the manufacturing and wasn't sealed, when water gets into the footwell and stay there, overtime, it soaks the carpet and other sound proof materials and this emanates offensive odour, compromise the efficiency/effectiveness of the sound proofing materials and could initiate rusts in the metal parts if the water isn't drained and made to dry off. Also puddles of water have been known to play harm to cars especially those with huge/fat tyres. Vehicles with fat tyres are exposed to higher rist of "aquaplaning" a very dangerous situation whereby a car that is drivin through a very wet road surface loses contacts with the road because the water acts like a film/layer of smooth/frictionless surface thus initiating a loss in traction and an inexperienced driver could react very dangerously thus bringing the car to slide on the wet road.

Did you actually write this or copy and paste stuff? If you did, I'm humbled.

CHIMCO: Is it proper to drive faster at that period to aviod been stoped by unseen objects like stone or drive as slow as possible?

Siena: There's always the risk of any control modules being water damaged, causing short-circuits. But, this isn't the worst that could happen.

If water is drawn through the air intake, the engine will hydro-lock. I'll explain what this means.

Your engine draws air into the intake, mixes it with gasoline or diesel, depending on engine type. This air/fuel mixture is then drawn into your combnustion chamber, where it is compressed by your pistons. I'm not going to go into the spark side of things that ignites the air/fuel mixture here, because it's not relevant. Air is compressible, liquid is not.

So when water is sucked into your combustion chambers, your pistons will try to compress it. With your engine turning over, the pistons will meet resistance, and the first things to give are the connecting rods. If you're lucky, and the engine shuts down early, there'll be minimal damage. The plugs can be removed, the engine cranked over, and the water blown out. If you're unlucky, and the engine doesn't shut down early, your connecting rods will bend, as there's no way the pistons can compress the water in the cylinders.

Sometimes, an engine a slightly bent conrod or two MAY run after the water in the cylinders has been blown out (by removing the plugs) but it'll never be right. The cylinders with bent rods will have the pistons stop short of TDC (Top Dead Centre) which will mean lower compression in the affected cylinders, and poor running.

In some cases, bent connecting rods will smash holes in your cylinder block, with the conrods and sometimes pistons exiting the side of the engine.

There are no ifs or buts. If you want to hang onto your automobile for a long time, and not have to spend $$$ when you don't have to, avoid driving through flooded roads.

I can't understand what "Nadoson" is stating, and his analogies are way off the mark. You don't deliberately drive your automobile through a Ford, and expect all to be well.

Nadoson:
ur too good in xplanton but If u had gone trough my view v/wel, i did mention of old & newly cars on hydrolockin problms,
HYDROLOCKING affects newly produced cars only (programmd) I knw about dis hydrolockin & dint wona elaborate it. I knw dat DIVINELOVE were tryin 2 knw d risks involvd driven 2ru flood so i was tryin 2 pickpoint some areas dat may b afetetd not only d engine though dat d engine is d master peice.

Siena:

And again, I say your analogies are way off the mark. I'd say you're confusing Hydro-locking with electrical short-circuits caused by water ingress in control modules. These issues are totally separate.

Hydrdro-locking affects EVERY internal combustion engine, whether it was built in 1860 or 2013. The principles remain the same, and as long as water remains non-compressible, the hydro-locking issues will remain. If water is drawn into the combustion chambers of a running engine, it WILL hydro-lock.

Nadoson:
if ur talkin on cumbustion, imidtly it drys off & plug changd, d car will start up unles d water inters in some electrical chambers.

lomomike: well 1 don't fancy copy and paste cos i dislike it and I feel its an infringement on someones intelectual property. I personally wrote this. BtW thanks Sir.

Ikenna351: I would rather park my car or find another route home than hydrolock my engine.

Newer Cars with EFI engines these days are designed to suck air into the airfilter box under the car via tubes lowered under the filterbox, so that IAT will always be sensing cold air, signalling to engine ECU to help in supplying adequate amount of fuel going into the intake for proper amount of air/fuel mixtures.

My point is, a modern car will easily suck in water via airbox and push the water into intake manifold, when driven in a pool of water. The engine will hydrolock and you kiss goodbye to that engine, unless you are ready to rebuild it.

Dont swim with your EFI car. Its not a Boat.

Ikenna.

I'm sorry, but WTF?! HTF am I supposed to knw ETF EFI FMs.. Get it?!

Whats EFI, ECU, VCR, e.t.c.. Can you rewrite this in plain english Mr. Mod who banned me unjustly..

I should ban you for posting in shorthand..



@ Topic: Driving through a pool of water washes the under of your car, type, rims and other places under the car... Infact, I speed through it to wash the muds off of my under carriage..

However.. Certain cars hate water.. My first car ever was an 86 Honda Accord.. Drove into a pool of water and the car stalled. Wouldnt start. Later found out that water had entered my Brainbox and that the engine was gone. Spent a guap to fix her.

Now I live in Banana Island.. I no longer experience flooding. #Praise the lord.

bebe2: BORINGGGGGGGG, for those of us wey neva drive thru water for 10yrs, how can we contribute
