hey, automotive engineer here. The BCM is defective and prevented the EPS from communicating to the other module. The BCM performs a lot of CAN signal gating between different networks. If the module is not doing for it some reason, stuff like this happens.

Am Umar from Uganda ,and VW fan. Paul's frustrations really amused me this morning. My 1.8t mk4 is not yet close to his mk5, but i now know where am headed in the near future.

Was REALLY hoping for a “yup, that runs better” pulling out of the carwash. I look forward to the day that I have this much fun with this amount of trouble. I would think if there is a Paul delivers option there is certainly a Charles on call option.

Paul and team, THANK YOU! I laughed my a$$ off through the whole video 😂😂😂

As a BMW owner, this was a much needed boost for my mental health

You and Charles are my favorite two people to watch on KZread right now...absolute gold 😂

My absolute favorite videos are on this channel! Thank you!

Watching your video makes my life so much better LOL! Thank you !

Hey buddy, from one mechanic with bad eyesight to another you should seriously consider wearing contacts, it makes working on cars and life in general a lot more pleasant, no dirty greasy lenses to look through and not to mention how cumbersome they are! Love this series! The wrap looks killer!!!

Great video, Paul looking forward to seeing the next one the wrap looks awesome by the way

@@Jack-qn4vt you don't have to decode, most of the times if a module is faulty it simply doesn't communicate, if the module communicates then it's probably the part that is faulty unless it's a broken wire between the part and the module which is easy to diagnose.

@dhrida5518 yes correct, a dead module won't communicate. If only 1 wire is broken in CAN H or CAN L then you will still see communication. However if you put the oscilloscope on the lines to a dead module you will still will see CAN activity as the other modules will be sending/receiving packets. The only realistic way to know if a module is communicating is to test via scan tool. Unless like I said you know how to read CAN data which is a skill within itself.

As a body shop & detail shop owner, and mk5 owner, I’m 100% for the wrap job. Doing proper body and paint is huge work.

Here in Canada 🇨🇦 independent repair shops can’t access all factory information but if a VW dealership runs Guided Fault Finding (GFF) it will tell you if any module has a change in coding and can put coding back to factory spec.

Shenanigans like these keeps my sanity at ease hahaha

I can see why the not so clapped out versions of these sell for top dollar. I love that you are bringing this R back from the depths with a comical twist 😅

I had a bad BCM problem with my 2018 GSW 4Mo. Mainly affected the interior lights. Took an itinerant VW engineer to diagnose at my local dealer. Total part cannon, lucky it was under warranty, was without the car for nearly three months.

I sold a cabrio last year with all sorts of issues to some dude. Couldn't wait to get rid of it. I feel every step of this mans pain. This stuff has sworn me off VW products forever. Theyre nice when they work, but they are a nightmare when they dont. And i refuse to deal with the expensive parts and poor support. Good luck to you man. Thanks for the video.

That wrap is 👌👌👌

So I had a MKV that was also stuck in 1st gear after a deer collision. Took it to a friend who replaced a fuse. Easy fix!
