These components are Prone Cars Flood Damaged After Passing

JAKARTA - In recent years the rainfall is quite high, especially in Greater Jakarta. Every day, either morning, afternoon and night in some cities is always a lot of rain and resulting standing water or flooding in the street.For motorists, especially the mobility is high, and avoid the need to consider several things after his car through a puddle of water or trapped by flooding in the street, because there are some components that are damaged after passing through the puddle.

According to Ismail Nugroho, as Head of Hyundai Car Workshop Pondok Indah, a component that is often impaired or severely damaged after inundated by water, including:Water HammerThis component if the water had come into the engine while working, the working system on a piston which compresses air and fuel will be mixed with water, because hydrogen can not be compressed and cause the piston cavity.

Alternator shortingThese components are not actually experiencing the problem. Because the location of this component is quite high. However, today many are using advanced alternator with IC (integrated circuit) in it. If this splash of water or submerged will experience a potentially fatal damage.

Oil-Water Mixed oil water will kehilanmgan lumasnya power and are more prone to rust. In the automatic transmission, the oil that terkontraminasi water will cause damage to the clutch plate layered. The fix, check the color of oil after a flood.BrakeWhen the floods hit, usually the most influential after passing the sisrem braking. 
Hla is similar to the clutch, just have a different impact. Submerged car, the brakes will be slippery and will damage the disc brake calipers. Its function will be reduced if submerged by water.Sticking clutchFor manual transmission cars, after the flood should not continue past the parking or stopping. Because, the water will make menggenagi clutch components and dampen dekrupnya resulting in strong adhesion between the clutch plates and dekrup. It's good after going through a puddle, the car continued to run and do not immediately stop immediately after a flood."The five components are the most vulnerable and we must caution after passing through standing water or flooding.
