Judgement Day. Will the ID3 run?

This is it; we have to get the iD3 running today. If this last-ditch attempt doesn't work, then the iD3 will just be a very expensive paperweight.

Great news! I think we are all relieved for you Paul. Nice that the biggest hurdle is now out of the way. Fingers crossed the rest of the build goes smoothly 🙏 🤞

[@NathanHiley]

Great result paul and I definitely think I’ll leave electric rebuilds to you 😂

[@mrjones9915]

Nice to see you pop up here Nathan. You are right - these electric cars are a nightmare and will cost owners a fortune outside of warranty. I won’t buy one anytime soon. Great video Paul and your tenacity with Baz was something to behold.

[@kwakgreen]

Big shout out to the chap that helped you out.

[@blackghost769]

I think you need to shut the door And put your seat belt on Forgetting these new cars have a lot of safety features

[@todaymarky1991]

100% these are a nightmare u have to be sitting in drivers seat door shut but no seat belt tho

[@gbeeshrimp]

Yes, Paul, buzzing for you, perseverance pays off

[@DB25k]

This was a very epic feature length film style vlog , and it was brilliant news you got those wheels turning despite those endless error codes. Well done...so much perseverance ...

[@CarsForPaul]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stum8374]

Well done Paul,I really had my reservations!!

[@hondamonkeyboy]

If that was my car I couldn't feel happier. Well done Paul, you're almost there.

[@MeyerFerreira-b5o]

[@reddave8628]

You got a like just for that face when it worked 😂😂😂😂😂. Pleased for you that it's work 👍👍

[@bernarddegrasse8753]

Great Paul.Nearly there.For the minute I thought it would'nt go into READY and get traction because of the rear air bags .I was wrong.

[@Chris-zo6xd]

Well done Paul , it’s great to see you getting one over on technology, they really don’t want us to fix our own cars , nice one mate.

[@davidcoombe1811]

nail biting ,well done to both of you

[@tonykhoza7672]

Hi Paul , thank for sharing

[@CarsForPaul]

You are very welcome

[@anders4u222]

Congratulations👍🏼 I’m seriously impressed by your skill and at the same time saddened by the extent the dealers go through to lock down their cars, making home repairs almost impossible.

[@st200ol]

In the case of EV’s it’s understandable though, they already have a bad rep without any old Tom, Dick or Harry “fixing” them.

[@CarsForPaul]

Thanks 👍

[@rajjuttla]

Hi Paul , I did tell you it could be done but its a lot of hard work well done great video.

[@alancobbin]

Epic Moment indeed 😊,you definitely owe Baz a good drink, there is light now at the end of the tunnel Paul 👍😉💪

[@CarsForPaul]

Absolutely

[@leemilan5693]

well done, must be quite a relief

[@CarsForPaul]

Oh yes

[@nich532]

Great news.. but you always get it done... love the content

[@TimHarrison1970]

Peachy, well done mate

[@JamieJones1985]

Nice one, I know that excitement when the wheels spin having done a DIY EV conversion, ear to ear grin. Looking forward to seeing it roll under its own power.

[@CarsForPaul]

You and me both!

[@everybodyneedsadave]

Well done mate. Love your channel

[@CarsForPaul]

Glad to hear it

[@ytgibbo]

So glad I’ve got a basic, mechanical car. All of these electrical systems pinging and throwing up alerts all the time would p*$$ me right off.

[@jonathanjordan1180]

Great work - I had an accident in our iD3 and it took 6 months to get put back together

[@CarsForPaul]

Wow, 6 months😱

[@janetshabani-qu7hq]

Yay your back

[@mickgee3489]

Well done mate 👍👍 great work

[@bvqbvq]

Please don't give up on the EV rebuilds! I've enjoyed your ICE rebuilds but I have learnt more from your EV projects and it has been really interesting to see how the vehicles differ from traditional cars. I would love to see an eKona or eNero build or how about a Mercedes EQA? I see that there are now some cheap Porsche Taycans coming up for sale at auction, now that would be an interesting project.

[@CarsForPaul]

Good to hear

[@gwaddles]

Brilliant!

[@paulcushnie]

So was the fault caused by the bonnet being open? I know that some cars kick you out of gear when doors are open but I see you managed to get it to work with your door open.

[@4thegood]

Yep so true. But now he can get cracking on the minor bits.

[@thechojiin]

What software version is t your car on? I've just had mine updated to version 3.2 from version 2.4 by VW. It has helped immensely with charging as octopus io tariff can now see the car but the new update detects more errors and issues that the previous software version couldn't see. It's recommended to get these cars on version 3.2 as the previous software was almost beta like with bug issues. You're making great progress, although after watching what your going through, I'm tempted to chop mine in for a petrol or diesel car, I don't like the idea of all those locked out components.

[@joebrodie]

You did it! Still need to know a professional to get the right crash codes removed. That could be a video by itself (what software, what buttons to click, etc. ).

[@rajjuttla]

Hi Paul, How is the ID3 going is everything fine after just changing the pyro fuse or did you have to change the BCM as well

[@CarsForPaul]

nope, just the pyro, and its going just fine

[@sheepdogman1]

One to mothball for a couple of years and then bring out when more people are around to help

[@sparky1543]

Well done Paul, although I think Ev salvage is going to finish copart.

[@YUGUK]

Hi Paul - Strange question for you. Did you ever find the misfire fault on the TT Mk1 WD04 SLV?

[@CarsForPaul]

yep, it was a faulty injector

[@YUGUK]

@@CarsForPaul 👍🏻 I bought it and it has a compression issue on one cylinder 😩

[@malcelwell7209]

Brilliant 💪

[@CarsForPaul]

Thanks

[@a11csc]

yipee triumph paul

[@djsiuk]

ID3 is looking good.

[@xavierfraiture3642]

Hello can you help me I changed the battery fuse on Id4 but the car does not want to drive I have not yet changed the airbags is a problem

[@carlosportilla6443]

Good morning Paul, I am in Spain repairing a Seat Cupra Born with the same serious accident problem recorded in the control units. I hope that Odis online will help me to get it back to life and be able to enjoy the car. Can I contact you in some way? Greetings and thanks for your contribution.

[@jetamotorsport8045]

The reason it kept going in to park was bonnet was open ?

[@B16GYG]

I was about to say the same thing i won't release because it's safe to feature whenever the door is open or the boot or the bonnet is open I've got electric car and mine does the same 100%

[@Leehuss5582]

If the error codes on the car are cleared Paul what caused them to alert in the first place... StaySafe ❤2ALL

[@kev845]

Nice one got there in the end 🙂🤑😂

[@CarsForPaul]

We sure did

[@adrianward7888]

Will it allow you to select drive with the door open

[@CarsForPaul]

Yes it does

[@thindo]

With all the technology in these cars fixing the will become next to impossible aka financially unviable... Insurance premiums will go up and they will be one use only

[@blackghost769]

🎉🎉🎉

[@isarobertson6548]

👏

[@straylightc4b]

How on earth are these vehicles sustainable? Not only do they deplete the earth of extraordinarily expensive materials without rewarding the countries of origin, but they are completely unrepairable or restorable. I have a 40 year old VW van that could be run on corn oil, steam, or a horse.

[@gwaddles]

Put some coolant in it

[@212MPH]

Good work as usual Paul 👍

[@CarsForPaul]

Thanks 👍

[@user-zh9kc7tw4n]

Yes Electric cars Are the future.

[@gennadijdmitrijev3122]

Hi Paul . I have the same problem on my ID.3 right now . Can you please explain what you have erased before car started to drive . have watched video 4 times , but still cant understand main problem . Hope you will answer me 🙈 Thank you

[@CarsForPaul]

Its the crash shutdown code, they will be in serveral modules. you can only use ODIS to remove the shutdown code

[@gennadijdmitrijev3122]

@@CarsForPaul Can you please tell version of your ODIS ?

[@CarsForPaul]

@@gennadijdmitrijev3122 I used a company called vag coding specialist to do the work as he has access to the latest version of Odis and does the work remotely, you just need to buy the dongle which he will tell you where to get it from

[@gennadijdmitrijev3122]

@@CarsForPaul My car is in local workshop now , and the guy who have ODIS can't erase this error . He told me that maybe he have an old version of ODIS , that's why he can't erase it . Tomorrow we will try to use a new Version of ODIS , and will see . When my problem will be fixed will write some update here , maybe it will help to someone in future . Thank you

[@CarsForPaul]

@@gennadijdmitrijev3122 he will need to use the online version of Odis as the car needs to talk to the vw server to get authorised to remove the crash code, you can’t do it with the offline version hence why I used vag coding to do the work for me

[@darenyeatman1007]

Star man😅

[@sprograt]

This is a perfect advert for people not buying electric vehicles, over complicated, overrated and over here imagine if your cars damaged how long would it take a repair garage to repair it. Thanks but no thanks I will stick to my ICE car.

[@sparkymark75]

Overcomplicated? Have you seen the moving parts, systems, sensors and wiring on a modern ICE vehicle. EV's are less user serviceable because there's nothing to service on them.

[@sprograt]

@@sparkymark75 Yes they are complicated but there are garages that can repair them in every town/city, one brand I can't remember which their are only 6 approved EV repairers in the UK so image if something goes wrong and your car doesn't move and you have to have it recovered 150 miles before they even look at it, I'm not a EV hater but this moving to EV's hasn't been thought through and it's not cheap to charge vehicle from public chargers as it was in the past with road tax coming for EV's it's going to be more expensive than ICE cars to run you can see it coming.

[@stevo4649]

thankyou Paul,,wow what a result,,and a brilliant upload, this was so interesting in how technical these new ev,s are now,and you explain it all so clearly,👌🦾👍

[@CarsForPaul]

Glad you enjoyed it
