Floods

[yapoy86]

Ano ba mga dapat ingatan sa paglusong? Ang alam ko lang is yung exhaust pipe, computer box, at pag pinasok ng tubig yung cabin. Among these, yung tambutso ang pinakamababa so yung ang una kong tinitignan. And effective ba yung yung naka rev ako and partial clutch para mabagal lang at hindi pasukin yung tambutso? Dati kasi, may mga kasabay ako lumusong, pero ako lang yung maingay so napaisip ako kung necessary talaga. At paano kung A/T?

Thanks!

well if going thru the flood is inevitable, you should take into consideration first how deep is the water... you should take in concern your INTAKE manifold rather than the EXHAUST pipe since the exhaust pipe will just blow out any water that will try to come in considering you are revving at around 1,500rpm, your INTAKE should be considered since this is where your engine take in AIR...having this under water will instantly stall your engine..

ECU and other Major electrical controls should be protected from water since they can be easily damage by water..

You should also maintain your car in 1st gear since water will cause drag on the vehicle.. PARTIAL clutch is not recommended, while the transmission is submerged, do not step on the clutch as this will disengage the disc from the plates giving opportunity to water to come in between thus will cause SLIPPAGE.. fully release the clutch while traversing in the flood.. after passing on the flood, maintain your gear for a while so that the clutch will have the time to dry up.. immediately shifting to 2nd gear may cause slippage..

also, remember that your brakes are weak after being submerged from the water... try to dry them up by stepping on the brakes slightly while the vehicle is running, be cautious since your brakes are not that reliable when wet
