I DESTROYED my VW UP! - Turbo GTI Conversion EP7

noise and now when you turn the key arrows appear. If I try to press the clutch like it sounds like a plane taking off, oh man, it soon becomes clear that after all this work we've fried the EC, that's the worst problem you can have because the ECU has to be coded to the car. And I guess that has to happen at Volkswagen, that's not something that can happen here, but that would require a new ECU from Germany or repaired, yeah, one of the two, uh, Volkswagen, the car that keeps on giving, there's a glimmer of hope that maybe a fuse has simply blown, either somewhere in the engine bay around the battery or buried deep in the dash, but after a while.

In the investigation it is now clear that the ECU that is specifically coded to work with this engine and this car is

destroyed

in miles speak to your contact at Volkswagen to see if we can get help. We like it, we use a multimeter and we test it with some of the pins touch the case, yeah, okay, so there are definitely vaults that have gone through where they shouldn't have gone through. If we really have

destroyed

this ECU, then this whole project, all this time and all this money could very well end at this point. We have nothing to lose, so we are cracking the ECU and looking for evidence of fried circuits.

Does anything look fried? Martin, no, you mean where I stabbed him with the screwdriver, yeah, that seems a bit fried, where you don't. Oh man, come on, so I talked to Volkswagen about getting a replacement ECU. It costs $2,176 and there aren't any, so they checked their stock in Germany and they don't have any, so we'll try to find a second hand one. somewhere in the world and that's what we'll do next. This problem is not just about finding a physical ECU, even if we manage to do this the new ECU will need to be cloned so it thinks it is a factory GTI ECU and then coded specifically for this car, what we need is a hacker.

We've done it, we bought a GTI from England and brought it here. Engine ECU, we put it in an Australian one and today was our last day of filming and the ECU. The case touched the positive terminal of the battery and made a little knock and now it doesn't work, that's why I'm calling you, oh um, yeah, could you live up to that one, okay, uh, that's it for everyone, it's like the maximums. and the low points of this project, I'll tell you what we need to try to find another ECU abroad, uh, before we can do that, nothing can happen anyway, we have to find another one and have Volkswagen code it, get another one and get Was cloned by them or just in case um we're too far down the rabbit hole now I'm too far away man can I snuggle?

Thanks man, it's still thanks, Miles R Tred, well you know what happens after things fall apart, yeah. They come up again, yeah, a life analogy, tough man, that was tough, okay, see you all, bye.
