Stop immediately without restarting
If the vehicle is soaked in water for a long time, it will not be a big problem until the vehicle restarts. Since the volume of water is incompressible, when water enters the cylinder, the accumulated water will damage the valve and cylinder head during the piston compression process. Once a problem occurs, it will likely require major repairs, and the cost of repairs can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands and insurance will not pay for this type of human error;
Therefore, when you encounter flooding and determine that the vehicle cannot move, please turn off the engine immediately and do not restart the vehicle. As long as the car owner has vehicle damage insurance, he or she can call the insurance company if the car is flooded.
Vehicle damage insurance stipulates thatthe insurance company will be responsible for compensating all or part of the loss of a motor vehicle due to lightning, heavy rain, floods, waterlogging, tsunamis, etc. However, many drivers force restart the engine after their car suddenly stalls while wading through water, causing engine damage. Insurance companies are not responsible for compensating these losses. Insurance and relief The next thing to do is to immediately declare the insurance to the insurance company (the prerequisite is that you have car damage insurance). If you do not report insurance for more than 48 hours, the insurance company may refuse to do so. pay (because the car has been soaked in water for too long) If the parts are damaged, the insurance company will refuse to pay or pay less due to the car owner's inability torescue in time.)
Before the rescue vehicle arrives, if you are in the garage, pump out the water first. Do not blindly open the sealed and parked vehicle and wait for help on site. If you are driving, you can put the gear in neutral in the car and the owner can open the window and move the vehicle away from the fording area. Never open the car door at will to avoid further flooding of the interior.
If the tow truck from 4S store or repair shop cannot arrive in time, you may want to ask the insurance company to rescue the tow truck. Related Knowledge: There is a type of insurance in car insurance specifically for engines called water insurance. Water-related insurance is also called special engine loss insurance. The insured vehicle will be compensated for engine damage caused by fording on a waterlogged road or by aflood. The amount of compensation can vary from a few hundred to tens of thousands.
But practically no insurance company on the market currently offers this type of insurance. That is, if there is no water insurance, the insurance company will not compensate for the loss of the engine, but it will compensate for the accessories of the engine, such as generators, pumps air conditioning, etc. the loss of interior drying and electronic components will also be compensated.
To summarize, once your car is flooded, don't panic. Just follow the above methods to deal with it calmly, actively rescue after the car is flooded, minimize losses, and actively cooperate with insurance. After the damage assessment, you will still benefit from the claims settlement service in a very convenient and fast way.
Fault phenomenon:
1. The engine has a powerinsufficient ance, irregular operation and a large amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe (1). Cause of failure 1. Fuel supply time is too late.
p>
2. There is water in the diesel or the cylinder gasket is burned, the cylinder is broken and leaking, etc. 3. Cylinder temperature is high. too low or the cylinder compression pressure is insufficient 4. The spray quality of the injector is poor
(2) Trouble diagnosis and troubleshooting methods: Diesel engine exhaust are whiteSmoke is divided into gray and white smoke and white water vapor smoke
1. First check the engine temperature if the temperature is too low, check whether the cooling intensity adjustment device, such as thermostat, blinds and. insulating duvets, etc. work correctly. In winter, diesel engines often emit white smoke after acold start, but when the engine temperature is normal, the white smoke will disappear by itself, which is a normal phenomenon
2. , the exhaust pipe exhausts the steam smoke, put your hand near the exhaust port and when white smoke passes and water drops remain on your hand, you should check if there is water in the diesel or if the cylinder seal is burnt. the cylinder is broken and leaking, etc.
3. The engine power is insufficient and the exhaust pipe emits gray-white smoke. Generally, the fuel supply time is too late and the fuel supply time needs to be checked and adjusted. >4. Check the fuel injector jet For quality, first use the single-cylinder oil cut-off method to find out the cylinder that is not working well. Remove the fuel injector and always connect it to the original high pressure oil pipe at the exinterior of the cylinder. Start the diesel engine and observe the quality of the spray. If the spray quality is poor, the fuel injector should be inspected and adjusted, and replaced if necessary. 5. If the engine emits white smoke when first started and black smoke when the temperature rises, this is usually due to low cylinder pressure.
