Hi there,

This morning after a week stopped, I tried to start my car and it was impossible to get the car started, instead of that I got kind of grinding sound coming out from the engine.
For a better idea please see the video.
I am so disappointed because I fear the worst, never happened to me something like that.

Thank you in advance.

This sounds like the starter motor has gone bad not retracting. I would remove the starter and see if the gear is pulled back into the starter motor away from the flywheel.

Here is a guide and some diagrams below to help us get started. Thanks for the video BTW really helps.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.
