chasl Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I have a 12-year-old Galaxy 2.3 automatic which has been in a garage for 5 weeks now because they cannot locate the loom plug to connect to the AG4 gearbox. Apparently they just need the plug and a foot or two of the loom to connect it up to the rest (the wires had apparently been sparking), but it's unavailable from Ford/VW and they haven't located one from breakers. Any suggestions for a source of this part? Quote
seatkid Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I would imagine the connector is a special made for ford or vw. 1. Its likely they can only supply a complete new loom. 2. A competent electrician/technician should be able to cut out the bad part of the loom and rewire using the existing plug. 3. Alternatively if they remove a pin from the plug they may be able to match up with various pins from connector suppliers like farnell, rs etc as well as the connector manufacturers. 4. Or cut off both plug and sockets and rewire with plugs/sockets or your choice, making sure to thoroughly document the connections before undertaking the task. 5. Keep looking for a scrapyard/ebay loom. You'll have to decide the cost/risk of each approach yourself. Quote
