hyundai accent 2010, manual.

hello guys. tumirik yung car ko sa baha just as palabas na ako sa tubig. ayaw umi-start. ng dumating kaibigan ko na mekaniko, pagbukas nya ng air filter sa makina basa na, yung spark plug ata basa din. buti yung computer ng sasakyan hindi nabasa. sabi nya napasok na ata yung engine ng tubig. buti napa-istart nya pa yung makina, mga 2-1/2 hours after ako tumirik. punta agad ako sa talyer at nag pa change oil ako at filter.

tanong ko lang is ano mangyayari sa engine, magkakaroon ba ito ng deperensya at ano yun kung sakali? tips naman para ma-maintain ko yung car. thanks.

by the way, the car has been with me for 4 months pa lang, binili ko lang din as second hand. tips naman in driving sa baha.

+1

kasi sabi mo basa na yung air filter, so meaning pumasok na yung tubig sa engine...di ata makukuha yun sa simpleng change oil/filter/plugs lang...

Driving sa baha, lalo sa mga sedan, hanggang ilalim lang ng running board dapat ang baha, saka dapat walang alon dun sa baha, kasi pag sinabayan ng BUS yung pag sugod mo sa baha, papasok talaga tubig sa makina mo...

Yung vios namin sinugod namin sa baha gang ilalim ng running board, tapos nung sinugod namin, primera lang at malakas na rev...umilaw yung battery icon sa dash for a while...

After sumugod sa baha, andar ka, tapos preno, ulit ulitin mo lang para uminit ulit o kumapit yung preno mo...

Pero after nun, nabasa yung fan belt namin at nag squeek na.

Baha driving tips, if the flood water looks deeper than half of your car's wheel height, then do not go through it. Go slow and in first gear while keeping the rpms at between 2000 and 3000. Avoid flood waters that are "wavy" or "maalon" (example flooded streets with trucks or buses driving through) because this will increase the potential of a water wave hitting your car's ignition wires or air intake resulting in a stalled engine. When exiting the flood, press the brakes gently until you can feel them starting to bite.

Hydrolock?

You said na-start pa. Are there any weird noises coming from the engine?

Suwerte ka pa buti hindi nasira yun engine mo. After mo change oil check mo na lang uli yun engine oil kung mag kulay chocolate pag ganun ang kulay change oil mo lang uli. Palitan mo na din yun spark plug. Sa tingin ko di naman pinasok yun loob ng makjna.

pag baha, advisable sa gitna ka ng road mas mataas elevation nun usually pag sa gitna.

If the spark plugs are wet, you definitely don't want to start the car without having the engine checked first.

Your engine runs by compressing fuel and air and making it explode. Water cannot be compressed, not in a regular engine.

You'll have to check for unusual sounds from the valves, as you may have bent one or two, at the very least.
