Hiya

 

Has anyone come across a glow plug wiring loom fall to pieces when they replace their glow plugs, if you have can you tell me where i can get one and whether it is easy to change.

 

Thanks in advance

This has been raised on the forum before and appears to be quite common. Someone with more knowledge on this will be along soon.

Yep, that's it- the plastic seems to go brittle with age and just disintegrate- it's not a part you can buy from Ford (short of buying a complete engine bay wiring loom) but as it's a VW engine etc. you can buy it as a repair part from them- I paid about 30 quid for mine (and still have yet to fit it  :lol: ), be aware though that unless you are prepared to strip the wiring loom from the glow plug connector back to the wiring multiplug, (which looking at the amount of cable they supply you with the repair part must be a bloody long way!) you will need to cut and solder in the new cables.

 

You don't say what spec/reg etc your vehicle is but I assume a Mk2 as mine is, in which case number 3 off of this parts diagram is what you need.
