Something a lot of people don't realize. Kala nila na basta kaya yugn baha, okay lang.

okay sir, may nakita ako dito sa valenzuela isang gas station hangan ngayon submerge pa rin sa flood water.

Sirs, additional tips pag tatawid sa baha? Tinatawid ko na pag hindi aabot sa bumper. Pinapatay ko airconditioner tapos 1 car distance at first gear lang ako. Tama ba mga sir? Mahirap umiwas sa baha lalo na pag bumubusina yung mga nasa likod.

Wag tatapak sa clutch pedal while traversing flood. Maintain the rpm and speed. Make sure na wala ka sinusundan para hindi mo kailangan tumigil sa baha.. kasi pag tumigil ka.. malamang game over na

Mas may advantage kaya ang AT compared sa MT sa suungan ng baha?

Mas maiigi yata change oil ka ng transmission, yung sa kin kasi after few months nalusong sa baha na di naman lampas gulong, yung transmission oil ko nag laput na parang gatas na, sabi ng mekanik pinasok ng tubig, kaya pala minsan high rpm pero di maka arangkada at minsan hirap maka engage agad.

just look inside the engine bay. kung meron isda or pusa. if the car really went swimming check the carpets baka pumasok ang water. pwede pa-alisin and patuyuin.
