My car sat in the rain overnight a month ago and I am pretty sure SOME water got into the carbs. At the time it barely turned over and would not start.
Now it will not turn over at all. Pulled the plugs, jacked up one wheel, and tried to get it to move by turning the wheel. No luck. Could the water that got in have frozen it due to rust? Did I possibly create a hydro lock situation and break something? How can I break it loose? |

Seafoam is another product that is used in this application.
At this point. You are looking at a teardown. You can try to get it running and hopefully it will not have enough damage be an issue. get it running put a long weekend of driving nearby on it and see how she runs (PS pay up AAA just incase) It is a Volkswagen and there are stories of this happening and it being fine. The real issue I can see is how much water was in the bottom, Will the cam bearings be ok ? That could be the problem |
