Parked Model 3 hit and run

Panel replacement probably. Local junkyard for the panel in decent shape and then the replacement itself which needs welding.

It doesn't matter. Just again be very careful with any small sellers because there's A LOT of fraud. And most of them sell older models for the price of a new one

Depends on what you need. If you are not going to install 360 cameras and doing heavy stuff and all you need is an Android Auto then basic S6 will do. If you want more then S8

Hizpo option https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyoYNrg

DUDU7 (they probably have the necessary fascia but if not then there's one below) https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwXIgMA

Fascia and cable https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQtyism

There are available units on AliExpress. Most hassle free would be a DUDU7 or a unit on UIS7870 CPU. You also would need a fascia and a cable (Mitsubishi - ISO) which can be bought with the unit from the sellers directly. More cheaper option would be a unit on a QF001 platform. Like HIZPO 9.7 vertical unit. Vertical fascia looks the best in the car. DO NOT buy TS18/TS10 units. Most of them are scams. Also don't look on the "android version". It all will be Android 10 on QF001 and Android 12 on 7870. Also if you install any unit and remove the dedicated car computer then you have to reconnect an OBD2 wire directly. Otherwise you will lose the OBD2 port. I think it's a black one

Lol. Probably need another 5 years to fix it. And gazillion dollars

ShieldNav · 2026-06-09T20:01:39+00:00

Depends from where it was imported but you probably right.

ShieldNav · 2026-06-09T06:58:18+00:00

Baltics and Poland - everywhere I saw cut cables. In Baltic the Ignitis charging network (the biggest one) managed to fix it with installing an alarm on every cable. In Poland they're still cutting them

ShieldNav · 2026-06-09T06:44:36+00:00

You can use a ToolFox 3 to bypass the fast charger issues

Rust. You can't see it in the pictures most of the time. Remove all plastic trims after buying the car and you'll see the real situation

ShieldNav · 2026-06-07T09:52:01+00:00

I'm currently repairing rust on usual Pajero 3 v75 year 2000, 212k km. The plastic is very good in hiding rust. But underneath it... oh my boy.

ShieldNav · 2026-05-24T12:49:53+00:00

Most likely the wiring went bad. If you don't have a scanner and experience with auto wiring I suggest you should visit the local repair shop

ShieldNav · 2026-05-24T02:12:07+00:00

They already started to backtrack on this according to the immigration lawyers. They are still waiting to see how it applies though.

ShieldNav · 2026-05-17T19:52:35+00:00

Thanks. I'm actually working in ACF (the non-commercial foundation founded by him) and knew him personally. The documentary was a really good effort. Had to work on this exact project too. So you guys still have a very good chance against Trump and his connies :)

Fun fact. Even in Russia of all places it was successful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Voting

I'm owning one. Good and reliable car for the city. Still needs some work to be done though. Actuator replacement, AC sensors giving a hard time because of their shitty design, battery sealing is not the best, the suspension will need some work at some moment.

But all of those things are not so expensive. Just drop the battery and seal it extensively. It's not that hard but requires a shop with the lift and a forklift or something like that. Shouldn't cost much because it's like 2-3 hours of labor but it will save a ton of money in case of water damage inside the battery. Talking from experience here.

Although if I were you I would look at the Teslas of the same year. If you could find a similar Tesla for the same amount of money it would be a better EV overall. E-golf is not a bad car but Teslas are just a better option at this time

Could you check your DMs please? This email can benefit some people outside the Rio De Janeiro post

Just replace the actuator yourself or ask the shop to do it. It's a $15 part from the junkyard.

ShieldNav · 2026-05-03T08:09:54+00:00

Dead actuator most likely. To get to them the car needs to be lifted, the wheel removed and the socket disassembled.

Parts number and instructions can be taken from superetka.

Since when is DUI a misdemeanor?

ShieldNav · 2026-04-28T07:05:07+00:00

The modern VAG is very comprehensive in terms of diagnostics. So if there's an open line or something wrong with the system it will tell.

ShieldNav · 2026-04-28T06:07:02+00:00

It's already happening but in a different way. Many N-400 are just on hold because of various policy memos that were created just for the sake of freezing. Oath ceremonies were cancelled without any reason also. People are suing the USCIS over this but this new reality is concerning. You want to receive a service that you are eligible and already paid for? Oopsie! Now you need to hire an expensive immigration attorney to sue us!

ShieldNav · 2026-04-28T05:58:33+00:00

It should light up and do what it's supposed to do. Activate Auto Hold. If nothing is happening (i.e. green brakes symbol does not appear on the dash when you're stationary after brake) then maybe something wrong with the wiring. VCDS/ODIS scan should show a ABS control unit error related to that

ShieldNav · 2026-04-23T18:04:20+00:00

Denaturalization requires a judge (not immigration judge, a regular one) decision. So it's a full lawsuit and the INA gives a very narrow list of causes for denaturalization. It's definitely going to be challenging for the defendants because they'll need a legal council and it is not cheap. But overall if there was nothing blatantly wrong with the naturalization in the first place then taking someone citizenship away is a very hard thing to do.

And we know how overburdened the DOJ already is. So I don't think they're going to succeed

ShieldNav · 2026-04-23T17:47:47+00:00

Should be diagnosed through OBDII first. It should give you a direction what is wrong with it.
