What is hydrostatic lock and how do I prevent it?
Hydrostatic lock occurs when a piston tries to compress liquid water (which doesn't compress, unlike air/fuel). The connecting rod bends or breaks. This happens in less than a second of cranking. Prevention: NEVER attempt to start a car that has been flooded. Remove all spark plugs immediately and drain any standing water before turning the engine over by hand.
Is hydrostatic lock covered by insurance in India?
Standard comprehensive motor insurance covers flood damage including hydrostatic lock — but only if you did not attempt to start the car after submersion. Insurance surveyors will note if the starter motor was operated post-flood (they check starter motor and ECU logs). GarageNation documents the pre-attempt condition on arrival to support valid insurance claims.
