Joshy's Ed30 Build Thread
Joshy:
Had an issue with the Mk6 RVC this morning :scared:
Worked OK last night, and again this morning but all of a sudden the video feed cut out. The camera mechanism still works like it should, but all i see is a black screen on the RNS. Annoying.
What what I've read online, it looks like this is a common issue and is caused by a broken wire near the camera unit. Apparently the constant popping in/out of the camera, couple with the current freezing weather causes the brittle wire to break. Hopefully it can easily be soldered back together, but we'll have to wait till I can remove the boot trim and have a look.

Hello mate! Yeah, was a pleasure to meet you too!
I'm really enjoying the car, its be a joy to drive so far. It probably needs some new tyres though now, and i like to lose grip ahaha!
I'm gutted too. I thought I wouldn't use it, but i absolutely love it. From what I've read online, this issue happens with the cold weather and constant use. I just hope its an easy fix!

Its Hydro dip :happy2: Unfortunately this was done before i bought the car so i wouldn't be able to give you any more information other than its dip!
Talking about wrap, i did think about buying some carbon wrap, and do some of the silver trims on the interior!
Joshy:
Found the culprit for the black screen when using the reversing camera - a broken wire on the camera unit itself. Unfortunately it looks like the camera and wiring are sealed together.
You can buy a new camera unit (part number 5K0 980 551) but its roughly £160 :sick:
Going to take the down to the auto electricians and let them have a look. They may be able to get the wiring out and reseal the unit for me. Fingers crossed.
Joshy:
CAMERA IS FIXED.
Took the car down to an auto electricians in Sheffield. We found that the way that the wiring had been ran meant that every time i put the car into reverse, and the camera popped out, the wires should snack on something and put everything under tension. The way the wires were ran this time should allow for more movement, and hopefully no breakage!
