E-golf Error: electrical system! Stop. Near 2 grand for VW to fix, or only £15? HV heater teardown.

Teardown of the heater used in various VAG group EV and hybrid vehicles. why it's failed and why this completely stops your car working! People like their cars warm as quick as possible and when there is a high voltage battery available this can be achieved in seconds rather than the 10 or 20 minutes it takes for a traditional combustion engine to warm up. However this can have it's downsides as you may already have found out if you have come looking for and found this video. The heater in this video came from a 2020 e-golf but judging by eBay listings this heater is also used in at least: Audi Q7 (hybrid) Porsche Cayenne hybrid Porsche Panamera hybrid VW E-up (aka seat Mii) If you're competent with electronics and EV electrics you can get this back on the road for about 15 quid and an hour of your time.
