台風で車の水没が多発！冠水車の見分け方や注意ポイントをVW専門店が解説していきます！

After heavy rain or a typhoon, you need to be careful of flooded or submerged vehicles. Even if a car looks clean, water damage to the ECU or wiring can cause serious problems later. This video uses actual vehicles to explain how to identify flooded cars, the borderline signs, and what not to do. This is a must-have guide to help you decide what to do when purchasing a used car or after a flood. 🔧 Summary Interior border: Is it below the lower-center airbag ECU? Engine border: It's dangerous if it reaches the height of the DSG mechatronics ECU connector. Check before buying: Water level line marks / moldy smell in the interior / rust on the steering column shaft. What not to do immediately after flooding: Never start the engine, even if the keyless entry system is restored! → Disconnect the battery → Allow to dry completely → Remove the plug and start the car. Asset value: Flooded cars are considered "one item" at auctions, meaning they have almost no resale value. 🕒 Timestamps 0:00 Opening: Keyless entry works again after rain → Why the engine never starts 0:24 Heavy rain in Shizuoka and the current state of flooded cars 1:07 Flooded cars = single item sold at auction / Explanation of resale risks 2:40 Interior ①: Water level line marks, dirt and rust at the base of the pillar 3:58 Interior ②: Door ECU flooded → lock and window malfunction / crash sensor location 5:02 Interior ③: Corrosion on the shift board / Airbag ECU location = interior border 6:57 Luggage side : Rear battery and moldy odor issues 8:38 Pre-purchase check: Determine by column axle rust and interior odor 10:27 Engine compartment: Flooded driving is not allowed / DSG mechatronics position is dangerous 12:28 Intake risk: Water hammer and engine damage mechanism 13:59 Reason for delayed failure: Water running down the wiring 14:49 Correct response procedure after submersion 16:14 Insurance coverage: Vehicle insurance, loaner car, initial assessment 17:12 Summary / Caution and clarification 💡 Mechanical points Even when the ECU and wiring are dry, internal corrosion progresses, leading to frequent electrical problems later on. Interior odor, rust under the carpet, and line marks are signs of a flooded vehicle. Starting the engine immediately after submersion can lead to water hammer (submerged intake air), which can damage the engine. Initial response contact information and photographic records are important for insurance coverage. 📱 Nile Plus Official LINE For inquiries about water damage, strange noises, and electrical problems, please contact us here! ▼Shizuoka Nile Plus Requests & Estimates▼ https://lin.ee/7H9BrVs ▼Setagaya Deemark Requests & Estimates▼ https://lin.ee/LM7ha71 Nile Plus is a certified repair shop in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, run by a former VW dealer mechanic.
