How cooked am I?

[sae.ekiicii]

So I just got this f83 and it has a damaged oil cooler and the the metal rails that the oil cooler is mounted to is bent ig. However, besides that I didn’t notice any other damage to the car. The thing is that the car seems to have leaked out a lot of oil off of this damaged oil cooler and still is atm as it sits in my driveway. I just scanned it for some codes and this is what I got, from the codes would you say the engine is damaged due to low oil pressure or are these codes that came as soon as the pressure got to a certain point even if nothing was damaged? Would appreciate any opinion or help, thank you 🙏

Damaged oil cooler is what blows a lot of these cars. Did you turn the car on (if you haven't, don't)?

Codes don't look good. Looks like it was left running atleast for a little bit with very little oil (hence low oil pressure). If it's your car, insurance does cover hitting road debris and the following damage done because of it.

I cleared the codes and they haven’t came back except for the low fuel pressure code. The car still shows that the battery is low and it is discharged. Idk, ig I need a special lithium-ion battery charger? I also do have videos on how it sounds when I try to start it but I’m not sure if it allows me to post it or not

You cleared the codes before repairs? Please say that you didn’t run the car in that condition.

It doesn’t run and never did to start with. When I try starting it, it tries cranking but Ig it can’t? And no I did repair it, it had a damaged oil cooler which I had replaced before trying to start it or anything else.

I got it off of an auction so that might’ve been what the old owner did, who knows tbh😭

Ouch, that's rough. I haven't used a special lithium ion battery charger in the past to charge mine.

When I blew my motor, the motor seized and the car wouldn't turn over at all. Gauge cluster and everything illuminated as normal and when I went to start it, it just made an audible clicking noise and didn't turn over.

You can try to manually rotate the crank bolt (22mm), and see if it's seized.
You can upload videos to YouTube and post the links here. Below is how my old motor current sits, to be turned into a table soon 😎

I don’t think it is siezed because when I try to start it I can see the belts and stuff turning, Idk the car had almost no gas left and like I said the battery messages abt the battery. I filled it up w gas but one other concern is it could be the fuel pump. However, first thing I wanna make sure that it’s not bc of the battery (or it is)😂

Why are you trying to start the car with a broken oil cooler? You are starving your engine from oil.

If it wasn’t screwed up before, it is now.

I’m not, I already replaced the oil cooler and did an oil change before trying to start the car.

Again, I already replaced the broken parts before trying anything.

You bought a damaged car and don't know how to fix it? This is probably mechanic's special and you are gonna dump a ton of money to get it running, and it probably has a branded title.

Good luck lol.
