Title: Wire near oil filter
Post by: 1.8Tgolf_Chris on 26 April 2014, 18:17

Just changed the oil only this time i managed to break out one of the wires when I got the oil filter out, There were 2 wires and 1 has come out the connection i think going to the sai, Cant see being able to rewire it as the wire its like a piece of hair thin but is this gunna cause problems ?
Where ive circle in red there are the 2 very thin wires in there, the plastic casing had been split on mine since i had the car it was a matter of time before it snagged really

Isn't that the wire to the MAP sensor?

Are you saying you have simply pulled the connection off or have the wires broken?

the wire has pulled out the connection which is inside the plastic sleeve so unless i hack away the plastic cant really tell if i can join it together - think im going to have to have a go at fixing it anyway

right got under the car again, what i thought was a connection block is just a plastic casing T join and the wire had just split clean in 2, unfortunately dont have any soldering gear so just spliced the wires and twisted them together put it back, ill have to do it again in future and solder it together for permanent fix.. Also these 2 wires go to a plug/ sensor could be the map sensor as mentioned ? Would be nice to know 100% what it goes to ;

yea, only just changed the oil but yes did check this morning and it is on max, done that just before i fixed the wire
- when i jacked the drivers side up i heard like fluid gushing from somewhere ? i didnt know if it was just rain water of something collected up from last night of whether it is something to do with that leak
