Dear friends,With the recent devastation that our countrymen suffered due to flood, we would like to give some practical tips to those whose vehicles have been submerged in water.
First, don't try to start your vehicle as this might short circuit the electrical connections and damage the computer module, if the vehicle is equipped with one. Let it stay and dry for a day or two. Disconnect the battery and have it towed to your nearest dealership/autoshop. You may call Caltex towing at 812-7878 or Malayan Camille at 687-8505 for company owned vehicles. For personally owned units, you may also have it serviced in your home if you have a trusted mechanic.
All consumables, meaning, fluids of the vehicle must be drained and changed upon inspection (engine oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, steering fluid, water in radiator/reservoir, etc.). All filters (oil, fuel, transmission etc.) and spark plugs must also be replaced or as maybe recommended by the dealership’s authorized technicians. Of course, your vehicle will need interior and engine detailing.
I hope this reminders will serve as your guide to prevent any further damage to your vehicles.Thank you.
