After Car Flooded and Repaired, what now?

[morrissey_05]

one of our cars na nabaha came back from the shop. did a check and like i expected, iba na sya. mas maingay at parang di ko gusto idling. most likely visit ko chief mechanic ko (different from the shop na umayos after nabaha).

i was also thinking of doing an oil change after 1000 km. too long ba to or after 1 week na lang?

btw, lets assume selling the car is not an option.

your advice will be appreciated by everyone. lets all learn.

Pagnabaha kasi sasakyan maraming mga parts ang mag cause the stock up . Obserbahan mo muna sigurong maigi lalo na iyong takbo niya at hatak . Mas maganda kung mga 500km change oil mo ulit. Kailangan lang gamitin palagi para makundisyon ang makina.

pa tune up mu na lang sir, and pa check sa ibang service mechanic if meron namiss ang gumawa diyan. however, some stains and pains will be permanent due to the aftermath of the phenomena.

yung ZZ ko din, nalubog sa baha, pero now, ok na siya.

try to visit this thread regarding sa mga submerged vehicles. dame din katulad naten.

Marami nag mungkahi na ibaba ang makina (overhaul). And not next week or after so and so km reading but immediately. Kahit daw yung "quick fix" ay mapatakbo mo yung kotse, need na total overhaul ng engine at electrical system. Isama pa po linis ng underchassis at air conditioning system.

hirap malunod ang sasakyan.

no need naman siguro if walang kasamang putik kinain ang makina sir... sa electrical, ok na siguro icheck if may damage wiring, and grouded points.. flush lang aircon ok na din.

worst case scenario na siguro yun overhaul

Malalaman yan ng marami soon enough. Kahit ako. hindi pa ako nag pa overhaul mahal kasi. Baka xmas bonus na.

Problem natin e mud flow yung tubig hindi plain tubig lang. Sisingit sa loob ng kotse yun at pag natuyo na e buhangin yun. Abrasive and in time lahat na merong friction, say bearings, axles, belts, pistons, etc. na meron nuon expect them to fail earlier than usual.

Sa US pag nabaha ang kotse hanggang dashboard they consider it a total wreck or totalled. At statistically almost all na nalunod duon (yung sa Katrina) e nagluko after a few weeks to a few months kahit nilinis pa. Electricals and the electronics will go nuts in a few weeks. The mechanicals in a few months.

Kung tumagal kotse natin, swerte (or gumastos tayo ng husto) natin!
