The front-mid engine layout was clearly the concept of choice for proper Mercedes sports cars in recent years. It allowed for the classic, iconic proportions with a long front hood and a compact greenhouse sitting far back.
The powertrain layout of SLS and GT (pic 1 &2) is almost identical as the GT carries over large parts of the SLS platform. The V8 engine (SLS: M159, GT: M178) sits completely behind the front axle while the DCT gearbox moves to the rear, connected through a torque-tube. This transaxle layout enables a more rear-biased balance.
On the SLR (pic 3) the supercharged V8 (M155) sits in a similar position, but the slim 5-speed automatic is directly attached to it and packaged in the center tunnel underneath the cockpit. You also see the unconventional exhaust system with the side pipes exiting behind the front wheels.
The pictures 4-7 are just there to remind you that front-mid is not the only option and you can put the engine in many different places within the car. Although, why would you… 😉
4. Porsche 911 (991): engine behind the rear axle, transmission in front
5. Audi R8: rear-mid engine (note the offset from center line), gearbox behind
6. Nissan GT-R: engine right on top of the front axle but transaxle gearbox at the rear (note the complex AWD system with two parallel shafts)
7. Honda NSX: hybrid AWD layout with rear-mid V6 plus electric front axle and T-shaped battery package

Compared to all of that the electric future is refreshingly simple, at least in terms of motor packaging. Just plug and play… It won’t fundamentally define the overall character, performance and proportions of the cars anymore, as it did during the ICE age.

Hello friends, In this post let us understand what is Engine Hydrolock and its causes. Read on.

What is Engine Hydrolock?

Engine hydrolock occurs when excessive water or any fluid enters the engine cylinders. This causes the engine to stop operating. An internal combustion engine compresses the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders to produce power and rotate the crank. However, while a large amount of water/fluid enters the cylinders, the pistons are unable to compress water hence they stop working.

When does Engine Hydroclock occur?

Engine hydrolock can primarily occur at times of floods or while driving through deep puddles. These circumstances cause water to enter the engine and damage it. It is better to avoid driving in deep water puddles to prevent engine hydrolock. Moreover, always avoid trying to start your engine after an hydrolock as this may lead the pistons to suck in more water. If such a situation arises contact a mechanic immediately.

Consequences of Engine Hydrolock?

Engine Hydrolock can seize the entire engine. In worst cases, it may cause breakage of parts like the connecting rods, crank, and engine head. The higher speed of the piston traveling upwards can cause them to bang on the head due to lack of combustion when water enters the cylinders.

This requires a quick engine flush following the removal of spark plugs and fuel injectors for the water to escape. Head gasket failures may also cause a hydro lock as the coolant may leak into the cylinders.

Symptoms -

In non-critical cases, water can be seen leaving the exhaust without any engine damage.

In critical cases, a heavy engine knocking can be heard followed by instant engine damage and breakage of the engine parts (pistons, connecting rods, head, etc)

I hope, you now have got insights regarding Engine Hydrolock 👍🏻 share this post with your petrolhead friends if you liked it 😊
