[@unmountablebootvolume]

Mat, that post under the hood is ONLY connected to the starter and the second battery, and can be isolated from that battery by the pyrofuse and the batteries are also seperated by a contactor, so putting power to it at those posts will only power the starter, and the first battery will (after the accident) only supply power to the vehicle electronics. So you would need to jump it at both the main battery AND the posts under the hood simultaneously. Also, I remember the W12 being fairly robust mechanically, not like a 1.4TSI, were the rods probably bend if you sneeze too hard, so I would say it's most likely fine, and the water is in the bottom, but the top of the intercooler goes to the engine, and the bottom only goes to the turbo, so it's highly unlikely that it sucked up any water.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Might also be the case with some blown fuses in the main fuse-box.. it's worth a check for all fuses and the control units that are seating on floorboard beneath the seats, if those have the board flooded or water can cause oxidization and they might cause car not start.

I've found that when the engine is seized and the starter engages that the car will actually shake a bit from the force of the starter hitting an engine that won't budge.

Definitely buy it. If the intercooler looks like a radiator then it is an air to air heat exchanger and there would be no water in it. Perhaps the water came from somewhere else or it isn’t an intercooler you are looking at. Re the sunroof, if it is the opening panel that is sitting up it ought to be reparable. If the structure was bent enough to change the fit of the roof glass, then wouldn’t the door fit, particularly drivers door be out too round the window frame and the door not open and close properly. My hunch would be the sunroof mechanism jumped due to the crash or it was open at the crash and someone has tried to force it shut.

Hey Mat, I think that personally you shouldn't buy the car. I know it's tempting but I've seen many Bentaygas on Copart and they are not rare on the site. A new one is listed probably every 3 weeks maybe? It would make for some great content but the risk on this one is just too great. Also remember that the insurance took of the quarter panel and maybe found something causing them to write it off. Personally I would not buy this car but as a KZbin project car the content would be amazing and personally I think that this is a very nice car that would be a great addition to this channel. This is just my opinion but it's your call not mine. Would you do it? P.S. Love the channel probably my favourite on KZbin hope to see you go far with this and your so close to 1 million subscribers so impressive and you deserve to be up into the multi-millions soon.

[@Themastermechanic-s3u]

Bentley Bentayga only has one battery and they are all under the drivers floor mat. Bentley Continental 1st and 2nd generation have 2 batteries Both in the boot. You would have to try turn the engine by hand to see if it’s seized which is very difficult because there is very little access or remove the spark plugs or air intake pipe to check for water. With the sunroof it’s possible it needs a basic settings run for it to operate. When these cars lose power all the systems require an adaption or a basic setting to be run.

Having worked on these bentayga's, it looks worse than what it is. The fender and intercooler, along with the crash bar, are all replacable. The dashbord is not a bad job just looks a nightmare to change but it really isn't. The head ache will be trying to find one in teh same spec. The non start is down to be involved in a crash. I don’t believe there is any damage to the engine as such. Will need Elsapro to reset some modules and you should be good to go. As for the car leaning to one side they suspension sits on the airbags' independent system. That will need investigating as to why it has collapsed to one-side.

@Mat Armstrong It’s worth taking the risk, yeah the pistons might have water in them but it won’t go beyond a bent or a broken connecting rod, that’s why the engine is refusing to crank.

Really it’s worth the risk

I'd say that glass roof not seating properly would be a worry. If the inside of the car smells, then has said roof been leaking from the rain? Glass doesn't bend or warp like metal, so I'd bet it's the frame that it sits in is damaged, maybe from the crash? Now is that frame just welded in by a robot at the factory or an integral part if the roof? Certainly when I was into car manufacturing the roof was pressed out with a gaping hole in it and the glass roof, frame etc put on a robotic arm, travelled through the ( non existent, later fitted) front window, then bolted/ welded/ pop riveted in. So if it can be put in like that, it can be removed?

How much is a new engine, can’t just replace just one air strut you gone need to do that in pairs or a whole unit, the interior, the man hours (if you were not the one fixing it) Gather all those cost up and see how much it would cost, then from that you can see how much you can bid on it. If it in perfect condition is 85 See if you can at least save 10K if you can. Then the difference between all costs of repair excluding 10K should be your heights bid for the car. Hope that makes sense

Go for it, it's just a badged up VW. Much easier to fix over the murcielago

The car has had an impact, bags have gone off and pyro fuse would have blown stopping engine so no opportunity for engine to induct water. It’s probably been lying outside for some time and water had collected in the oil cooler shroud. I’d go for it!

I would say you should buy it. With a car like that with a lot of electronics and a big engine you will need a lot of power to start it. But you could locate the starter motor or starter relay fuse and start it from there ( while still sending a lot of power to the battery) Apart from that, it could just be the crash sensor that is cutting the power that allows the car to start.
