My pleasure!

63p on the App

Look at the app. Very few don’t now, notably Tesla, BP and Gridserve.

Oh amazing, impressive to hear that they’ve still not sorted the issues

Hi - just read that you were able to take it apart. I am curious, how did you do this? can you describe this a bit, please.

Did it go back together?

@@theweekthatis there is no way to save the case with 500 logo on it… have to figure something out. But no complains, at least it works! And finally: there is no message about low battery on the car dashboard :)

@@veits.5717 the case is completely ruined, unfortunately. But the key works! There is circuit board inside with CR2032 battery on top, covered with the case and filled with transparent epoxy. The battery is on the side with the logo under the “5”. You get the idea if you place the CR 2032 battery on top of the key. If you have mini tools, like dremel, the best way is to cut all rounded edges on the perimeter and slice the top cover with a knife from epoxy. But still you’ll have to cut the battery out from epoxy… I tried to warm epoxy up. It gets soft, but not enough to help with disassembly.

It is the 42. If you look at the FIAT website it has the user manual with the load ratings and pressures.

@@theweekthatis super and many thanks!! Really helpful) cheers

Thanks a lot!

That’s excellent, thank you

I always seem them lock up, shreds the belt and tensioner normally

Thank you!

Not had one go flat yet

What? This is some random plug on a car. All plugs are wired different on all cars. How on earth would I know what order yours go back in?

Glad it helped!

Yeah I agree. Although more chargers, the merrier in my eyes.

Yes, after a year I burn the battery so it can’t be recycled.

@@theweekthatis Only 50% of a lithium battery is usable after being recycled, and most councils can't be bothered to pay for the recycling as it's expensive so it goes into landfill. Furthermore, other rare materials are also in your iPhone, quite a lot of which are mined by children who are paid pennies. I'm not trying to give you a lecture on morality but maybe just spare a little on buying an iPhone every year and wait a few generations.

or go with refurbished. Thats one of the best things you can do for the economy and your wallet.

Who do you think buys the phone in the first place before it gets refurbished? What a crazy thing to say. I buy a new phone every year or two, then my wife has it for a year or two, then my Dad has it for a year or two. Then I use it for another couple of years as my backup camera for KZbin. After about 8 years I normally get a new battery in it and sell the phone on facebook marketplace. The video you were watching was recorded on an old five year old iPhone. My iPhone is the single most important thing I own, so I like to have one that is new and reliable. But sure, carry on with your preposterous argument.

@@theweekthatis "Preposterous" Sorry for not knowing your entire family phone sharing situation, and simply only thinking critically about where we put our cash. And the point about buying refurbished is still a valid argument because someone else has gotten use out of it before you, hence 1 less phone being manufactured. Enjoy your collection of phones and the blood, sweat and tears along with worldly damage carried with them.

This particular one, is used on a handful of connectors in the wiring harness of Audi's and Volkswagens. This exact one, is usually used on things like coolant temperature sensor, knock sensor, brake pad wear sensor, hood contact sensor, and A/C compressor sensor. I think it's even used on brake fluid level sensor. Sometimes they corrode, rodents chew the wires, or they just mysteriously sever cleanly like they've been cut. Your air conditioning stop working in your car? Check the electrical connector for a break in the wire. Knowing that, saved me possibly $500-$1000 recently on my Audi A4 B7. It was severed like it had been cut, about 1/2 inch out from the connector. I have a temp fix on it, but this video has helped me understand how I am going to take it apart and fix it permanently.

Don’t be silly, this is a TRW issue, the bag was sealed and the box was sealed.

No, it’s been abused. It’s not normal.

Annoyingly not as it’s internal the connection, it would have to go on a lathe.

Exactly right! Hit the nail on the head.

Yeah, very true.

They’ve got nothing to do with this. Why would you even mention that?

@@theweekthatis that was supplied by euro car parts. I can tell from the sticker on it that's their stock number. Just I have lots of experience of euro car parts supplying my customers with incorrect /questionable quality parts.

It’s a sealed TRW part in a sealed TRW, I checked the part number against the genuine number. Euros just stuck the sticker on, they don’t have anything to do with this.

TRW literally are the OEM.

No, always insist on “genuine”. A parts manufacturer can supply any part and say it’s OEM, even if they don’t actually make that for the car maker, as long as they manufacture ANY part for the car maker.

TRW literally ARE the manufacturer for Land Rover, the old part had TRW cast into it. Also the servo was in the same box and the same part with the Land Rover Logo scratched off.

Well put, totally agree.

Chinese stuff is great, but bought from a Chinese company, they actually care about the product. TRW couldn’t get me off the phone quick enough.

FIAT seem to have fixed this bug now on the 500e

Absolutely!

It’s decidedly strange.

They are now, but there weren’t 8 years ago.

@theweekthatis yes m8 appreciate that. I just mentioned it in case anyone wanted to attempt this and wanted a cheap option to try (like me tomorrow. :) )

@@andynightingale7335 still not as cheap as a bit of contact cleaner though 😜

​@theweekthatis thanks for the video showing removal. Swapping out the switch today has worked and my dad can use the driver door window again. Cheers.

My pleasure

Not any more. But if you’re confused, try watching the video.

Thank you

Destroy it and fit a new connector maybe?

That’s great, thank you.
