Anyone here repaired their C63s that has water damage .

water has been drained out , new battery and engine oil has been replaced.

car does not seem to crank !

anyone knows if this is because of the starter motor or how do I manually “ un jam “ it if that’s a possibility .

insurance isn’t paying for the repairs

thank you .

Look up autovlog on youtube! He went through exactly the same thing and had someone repair it after they purchased the car at salvage. I believe he posts here sometimes too.

All his videos are just clickbait rambling and complaining lol

What happened? Actual hydrolock or flood damage? If hydrolocked, then the pistons are bent/busted. The problem with hydrolock is that water is not compressible, so if it gets into the cylinders something else has to give, so the pistons just get mangled up. You need new pistons and whatever else got busted from the sheer force. Flood damaged would be a different issue. Most likely all the electronics will be fried in that case and perhaps the starter motor.

See if you can even turn the engine by hand at the main pulley with the spark plugs out. If the crankshaft is free to move, then look to the starter/starting system. If you can't turn the engine by hand, then you have a serious problem.

If the engine is really hydrolocked, then it’s destroyed.

Hydrolock usually means bent rod hence the reason it won't crack and if your lucky it didn't go through the block . That is going to be am very expensive repair ...

With a bit of digging you'd find the guy that actually fixed it and open a line of comms with him but hey, what do I know.

Thank you all for your comments ,

it was flooded , and not sure if it’s hydrolock

we are gonna be changing the starter motor to see if it cranks .
My Mechanic said it was probably the starter motor .

would update ASAP

frankly, i would pull plugs and see if turns before you force it with the starter...

Exactly what I said earlier in post #6. Are you sure your mechanic knows to what he's doing?
