If there is water in the exhaust pipe of the car, can you continue driving?

If you haven't entered the water, you should turn around and drive away to avoid wading. If you have entered the water, you should switch to a low gear and use a large throttle to avoid the vehicle stalling. Once the engine is turned off, don't try to start it, otherwise the engine will be scrapped.

1, the water has flooded the exhaust pipe, which is easy to cause the intake air to flow back to the engine from the exhaust pipe. Once the engine is flooded, it needs to be overhauled.

2. When water enters the exhaust pipe, the vehicle will move forward, and the water in the front of the vehicle will overflow the hood due to the impact force, so it is easy to enter the air intake of the engine. Due to the intake suction of the engine, once a large amount of water enters, the engine will also stall and also need to be overhauled.

To sum up, cars should avoid wading, and a little carelessness will lead to overhaul.

Matters needing attention in extended information vehicle wading:

When the vehicle travels to the section with accumulated water, the driver should be given priority to choose whether to pass according to the actual situation (water depth). If this waterlogged section is a section where drivers often exercise, and they are fully confident that their vehicles will pass through this section, they can try to pass.

Driving on a strange road, and for beginners, we can choose reference objects to judge whether our vehicles can pass, such as surrounding trees, trash cans, signal poles and other buildings. The simplest and most direct method is to refer to the vehicles on the roadside. Generally speaking, the depth of vehicle wading should not exceed half of the hub.

The car stalled in the water, indicating that the inside of the engine has been damaged by water. At this time, if you continue to try to start the car, it may cause the piston cylinder of the engine to rupture and cause fatal damage to the engine.

Therefore, once the car stalls in stagnant water, you should ask for help as soon as possible and push the car to the road without stagnant water. You can't stay in the car and wait for rescue, because once the water accumulates deeper and deeper, it is likely to flood the whole engine compartment and cause very serious damage to the electronic components of the car.
