It is not recommended for novice drivers to buy used cars, mainly because the used car market is mixed, the water is particularly deep, and many vehicles look good but are actually soaked water vehicles. Water soaking vehicles have a lot of hazards, and safety may also be affected during the use of the car.
What is a water soaking car?
Literally, a water soaking car is a car that has been soaked in water, and the more serious the water soaking situation of the car, the worse the condition of the car.
There are several levels of water soaking vehicles, the first type of water soaking vehicle is called a water immersion vehicle, this type of car refers to a car that only floods the chassis and does not enter the car.
The Class 2 car is called a half-soaked water truck, which means that the rain has just flooded the engine oil gauge and has not completely flooded the center console.
The third type of car is called a full bubble car, this kind of water soaking car is the most seriously damaged, the rain has all gone over the roof, the vehicle completely lost its use value, this kind of water soaking car can basically only be scrapped.
What are the hazards of soaking water trucks?
The degree of water immersion in the vehicle is different, the impact is also different, if you buy a water immersion vehicle with light water immersion, the vehicle can be used normally after maintenance. If you buy a semi-bubble car, the engine of the car has a problem, you need to replace a new engine, and the overhauled engine may fail during future use.
Mr. Liu, the owner of the car from Shandong, bought a vehicle that was not seriously soaked in water, and only the chassis was soaked in water. After buying the car, Mr. Liu spent 50,000 yuan to repair the car, replaced the damaged parts on the car, and renovated the circuit system.
The repaired soaking car is obviously not as good as the new car, Mr. Liu's city is located in the coastal area, the air is very humid, the vehicle has been driving for a long time, the chassis rust is very serious, and the exhaust pipe is also rusty. A large amount of rust will affect the rigidity of the car and bring safety hazards.
Class 2 water soaking vehicle refers to a car with moderate damage Although it can be driven after repair, it must be overhauled. Damaged water soaking car lamp automatic system site and circuit system will be destroyed, need to replace the circuit system, lights and brake system.
The brake pads of the soaking car are also places that need to be paid attention to. After the vehicle passes the blister, the steel ring is easy to rust, if you do not replace the new steel ring, there will be a lot of space between the tire and the steel ring, and the tire will definitely leak air for a long time.
It is not recommended that you buy a full-bubble car, this type of used car is completely soaked in water, the circuit system, the engine gearbox are all destroyed. Because this kind of soaking car is soaked in water for a long time, the brake pads will be deformed, affecting the efficiency of use.
If you can't replace a new engine, the engine may lose power and stop the engine during future use. The vehicle is soaked in water for a long time, and metal parts such as oil pan and exhaust pipe will also rust, and rust will affect the service life of the car.
All in all, the water soaking car has a lot of hazards, when buying a second-hand car, the owner must carefully check, do not buy a water soaking car. You can open the hood to see if there is oxidation and corrosion on the interface on the engine sensor, and whether there are traces of sediment accumulation in the seat gaps.
Floods occurred in some areas of the southern part of the mainland last summer, and a large number of soaking water trucks flowed into the used car market. Many soaking water vehicles have been renovated and forged into ladies' boutique cars, and consumers who are ready to buy second-hand cars must be carefully identified.
