Moin Together! I’d like to ask you what damage can be caused to vehicles that were or were driven in the flood. I have three photos that may represent a few scenarios. Scenario 1: The car stands up to the door handles in the water and is not moved. As far as it can be recognized, there is no water in the passenger cell. Is that possible at all? What can happen in the engine compartment? Would the vehicle still be repairable? Scenario 2: The car stands up to the wheel hub Can towing in the water cause damage that would otherwise not be expected. How do brakes, axles and exhaust systems react to the standing time in the water? Scenario 3: The car travels through an area with increased water level, large puddle. Can the motor be damaged by driving? Keyword engine ventilation! Can water get into the exhaust system or is the exhaust pressure too high? If so, what happens then? Are there big differences w ie the technology / parts react, whether it is sweet, salt or brackish water? The questions ask themselves to me, after in another thread in the traffic & safety forum a user wanted to drive his car dry. In addition, I had a situation similar to in scenario 3 after the flood with us, and now the question arises to me, whether my car got thereby damage or can still get? Also interested me, how insurances regulate the damage? TK vs VK? To what extent am I as a Holder/insurer in the duty to remove my car from the area. In other words, if I have to secure my house, I have to put my car in safety? What if I don’t have time for it? Does the insurance also regulate damage from trips due to floods or very large, deep puddles? I know, the insurance questions actually belong in the insurance forum, but maybe you can take a look at them for a moment? egte and objective discussion. Greetings, the_Nordman
