It looks like a good part of the hoses and wiring in the engine compartment
are toast! Hopefully the EV can be put back together.
Wow, Ric, what a way to start off a Sunday morning! I'm sorry to hear of your experience yesterday. Unfortunately, electricals and harnesses are things you don't want to have problems with (ask me how I know..). Do you suppose the cause was the fuel line, or an electrical nature? I know a few years back you fixed a (potential) leak at a fuel line junction, but a lot of us are sitting/driving around with seven year old EVs, possibly waiting for the same thing that happened to you. I remember my first VW, a Type3 SB that was eight years old when I bought it. It started springing leaks in fuel line after fuel line until I finally wised up and just had them all replaced. I would think that '90s German rubber technology is better than '70's German rubber technology, though..
Let us know how this all comes out in the end. Hopefully a "simple" replacement of the affected hoses and wiring harness(es), and you're on the road again.
Norman
