Absolutely fascinating. Really enjoying this series. Bt the way it must seem like Christmas every day with all this deliveries turning up.
Audi E-trons are often showing up as lemons on Car Gurus. Nice cars but essentially paperweights for early adopters.
It's nice to know that vw covered the buzz bar in plastic for stupid people like me and Paul. I feel so special.. This is a great video Paul. Which I will never ever try at home. :)
Hi, Paul you finally done it you only need to do the pyro fuse and clear the errors and it will start.
I admire you persistence and thanks for sharing. You also gave me added confidence on my ID.4 purchase. This shows that battery is pretty much serviceable that price of repair can come down in the future.
Hi paul that is a lot work you have done and safe all the best to you and your family
great progress paul
This is next level Paul, no stopping you on this build, you should pat yourself on the back for this one.
Fair play to you
@carsforpaul i just changed refurbished pyrofuse 70€ only.
SRS ecu module crash data removal 120€,
Next refurbished seat belts, new airbags, refurbished central panel ~900€
And lastly reactivate battery via ODIS online ~200€.
That’s all you need to make ID.3 movin again
Thats correct
Well done Paul really interesting video
My daughter just bought the cx40 Volvo
And she love it 👍👌
Respect to you Paul, not many brave enough to take on a project like this but you seem to have it all under control 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Fascinating viewing, thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge.
My pleasure!
Fantastic work Paul , not for the faint hearted this process, thanks for the repeated warnings, I certainly wouldn’t want to go anywhere near these batteries
Paul, you might have been better off showing the whole procedure, not as a tutorial per se, but as a safety feature. You can be darn sure people are going to have a go themselves no matter what you publish but at least they can be kept that bit safer by following some decent guidelines.
It’s only a few angry pixies nothing to worry about.
Don’t worry about the battery, I’d be more worried about the very dodgy looking axle stand, especially considering the weight of these cars.
So in short, I am not looking to buy an ID-3 😂 that’s a bit much for me.
thankyou Paul,another fascinating upload,actually it certainly is an eye opener,unbelievable whats involved dealing with these EV,s,,no sunday afternoon with a toolbox fiddling around with this and that under the bonnet anymore,,,,👍👍
I actually think the shock hazard is the least of your worries if you follow sensible procedures. From all I have seen there are.many layers of shock safety. I think 3 phase power that all of us who have worked in a workshop have been around is just as dangerous and has fewer layers of safety.
Many batteries are twice that weight so the crush hazard must not be underestimated.
However my bggest fear is an accidental short circuit of a pack and resulting fire.b
I also fear for first responders, at least you can test things with a volt meter they dont have time for that.
Great video! Could you please let me know what type of sealant did you use to seal the lid?
Nice to see some of the process and the insides of the battery. Are you going to tell us how much the 'fuse' and control module are - I bet they are not cheap!
The pyro fuse, which burns through 20s seconds after the airbags go off, are a tad over £200 for an exchange from Seat Belts Solutions (HP15 7BZ - Joanne), the BMS system will be fine.
sound advice paul
Hats off to you for giving this a go. Not something I would feel comfortable doing. You could carve yourself a niche as being the salvage ID.3 saviour :) Whats the reason for having to replace the regulator, didn't really understand that bit.
because VW say so - the reality is that all that is required is a new pyro fuse (£200 exchange) : the BMS will be fine (plus he wont have component protection issues with the existing one), as paul noted that the charge was at 40% or so (from the cars display), im sure that he has checked the combined voltage of the cells which will be between 300-400v
Because vw want more money they could easily just sell a new fuse but then the aftermarket manufacturers would make them in China for a couple of quid so keep it so you have to replace big bits of the electrical control system and re code them to the car and then vw still make money of you!
Would go even further do NOT by any Second hand BEV at all even though they may see cheep... but that is just my opinion
Really enjoy your vlogs all the different cars and information. Only one thing is when you're cutting in music it so loud blows my eardrums out.
Hi, anyone know how to remove the crash after battery replaced? It's possible with vag com ? Thanks
As I said in the first video being level one qualified only gives you basic knowledge on the battery and you shouldn’t be removing the battery unless level 3 qualified and repairing a battery is level 4 because you can do yourself some serious harm if you don’t know what you’re doing properly, hence the need for qualifications in it
But who polices this system............what if you do not even know there is a qualification required. What if you do it without qualifications, who prosecutes you.
He is a private person so he doesn't need the qualifications. It only becomes a problem when he sells the car.
I think Paul's been pretty clear that qualification is required before doing this and he has said that he is working with a level 4 qualified chap. Didnt you watch the video?
I’ve found an ID3 with rear bumper damage, apparently it only needs rear bumper and light replacement and a small rear back panel repair. Would you still recommend me staying away or would there not be this electrical issue for a light-ish impact on the rear bumper? (Not planning to repair myself but take to garage, just weighing up if it’ll save me money rather than buying an already repaired cat s ID3)
Really interesting video mate, I always assumed they looked like many small standard car batteries inside. Just got an EV myself so great to see whats underneath! Love your work!
Nice Paul! What is you're day job?? Car related???
How much the battery cost ?
I thought it was Amps that can kill not volts!?
V = I x R. As your body is R, more volts = more amps.
BUSBAR not BUZZbars!
Hello I need your help I have an id4 She had a small accident airbag triggered high voltage cut off if I change the Pirofu sible is this enough where I have to change all the complete boxes thank you
It should be enough. but be prepared, you have to use odis to remove the crash data or the car will still refuse to move
@@CarsForPaul Thank you for the answer the airbag calculator I can erase with computer where it must be cleaned on the table thank you
do you think that is possible add more battery modules by yourself?
Not sure, you may have to code them in
Paul not voltage that kills its the current
Please wear the high voltage gloves next time made me feel anxiety Major I’m level 3 but have 4 at work who does this with all the kit please wear the protective gloves 😂
Surely isn't it more economical and environmentally friendly to just replace the fuse only
yes thindo it would be but sadly greed overwrites being(economical and environmentally friendly)have a good week fella,👍
Put the Pyrofuse inside the battery VW designers having a Stupid day at the office... Making it less likely that these cars will be sold on the second hand market and the insurance premiums will be very high....
Or maybe they made the decision that putting the fuse there would increase the chance that the battery was inspected before the fuse was replaced. Good call by vw I'd say.
Have bought the car from Ikea?😊
ez a szereles a leg veszelyesedd nezd a bakokat az emelest az alatamasztast alaganyolast hol a biztonsag !!!
Your tele phone no ? Are you in uk?
Not sure i would want to work on a battery with those thin rubber gloves, non insulated tools, and leaving loose bolts next to the terminals.
Well that was fascinating but I’ve got to say EVs are like a domestic appliance only one that can kill you if try to work on it. I am sticking to an ICE car for as long as I can!
300V DC will not kill you, AC yes, but not DC, More over: in is not the voltage kills, its the current kills. :)
You can light up a 220v bulb with DC power using your hands as a connector, it will not harm you.
Learn basics man.
Regardless of not knowing if you need to be qualified to do this or not to me it's kind of common sense it's high voltage! Knowingly Being a level 1 and doing this which is a level 3/4 job is just stupid and should have qualifications revoked.
Just my opinion!
He has said that he's working with a level 4 qualified guy.
I run far as possible from ev vehicles absolutely would never buy one
Salvage would put me off normal undamaged ones
