Isn't car under warranty? Just call the dealer and have them come and pick it up.

Hydrostatic lock could be the cause if the vehicle was submerged enough to allow water into the intake.

If it really was flooded and you were lucky enough not to have the engine running when it happened, you might be able to save it. If you can't crank the engine, it is hydro locked. That means that there is water in the combustion chamber. Water is not compressible so the engine will not crank.
Pulled all the injectors, ALL the injectors. Remove the air cleaner. Crank the engine to push the water out of the cylinders, it should rotate easily. Replace the injectors and replace the oil and filter. The fuel should be good but you may want to drain the tank and replace the fuel.
Replace the injectors and air cleaner. If the electronics did not get wet, the engine should now start
If the engine was running when it flooded, you probably bent some rods along with other damage, so the engine is toast.

What did you pay? Car maybe worth $30k if running and low miles. If you paid less than $10k, you could have an Indie work in over for $15K and and be in the ball park. It is an investment. But the clock is ticking! In a few months it will be a 2 year old model.

2015 mercedes glk250 bluetech
the car is only 3000 miles and i paid 15k for it.
i think the problem is from the adblue system cause all the codes that come out are from it: P13DF00, U029D87, P24AFFD, P2BA9FD.
so im trying to find out a way to bypass it.

A mechanic with a STAR system will need to research the tranny connections. Sounds like you might have an electrical problem in the harness.

Was flooded before you got it? A friend of mine drove through an open fire hydrant kids had opened, it got the trans computer wet, instead of getting a new computer and having it programmed to the car, he found one at a junkyard for 100$, he said they only need to be programmed to the car once. If nothing local, Ebay a trans computer cheap. For a 100$ and a few minutes swap it's worth doing.
