Those of you following the systematic demolition of my project 90 on the 'Members Vehicles' section of the forum will know that I'm just about at the end of the unbolt/undo/unscrew/grind off stage and will soon be getting on with welding and then priming.
Since we removed the engine yesterday (200 TDi), the state of the wiring has become fully apparent. I suspect that over the years, different owners have made tweeks/mods to the wiring of vastly differing quality, probably culminating in the modifications associated with conversion to the TDi.
The result is a 'spaghetti like' mass of single wires, spade connectors, occaisionally wires just bared and twisted together - not very good.
My question therefore is - having just about unplugged everything that the loom actually connects to, would I be better served in the long run replacing the loom altogether and starting afresh? Supplementaries are:
1. Approx cost/source of a new/replacement loom;
2. Does the fitment of the 200 TDi call for mods to the standard loom
I'm fairly OK understanding wiring diagrams so wouldn't be phased by the task.
Anyway - any comments welcome.
Cheers
Mark
