Tidying up an engine bay

[tech1889]

would there be any way round this ?? maybe using a new loom so that the wires are of better condition ??

Well thats part of the problem with 20 year old wires adding large sound systems and increasing amp usage.

Personaly I would try and speperate the lot into positive, neutral and grounds then make sure they are water tight most drain holes are in the chassis legs which don't help, plus water in the rad area from forced air water on the front of the car! IMO you can do it properly but most people won't due to time and effort involved. I have seen bays that have false sides back and sides so they create cavities that are water tight (EXPENSIVE) and those boys are high end as they really don't want any wires to be seen and also delete car componets and relocate for minimalistic bays. With enough money you can do anything well

I might try for a bit of a beginners smooth'ish bay... will relocate what i can.. will hide a few wires.. im not gona get anal about as i like to access my wires when something goes wrong lool.. just smarter than OEM if that makes sense ??

i think i'd rather be able to check coolant level

You could always mask a thin line up one side?

[messenjah]

or replace the level sensor so you know it works and learn to check the engine temp periodically

the sensor wont read any temp if there's no coolant in the system... 

[messenjah]

but the level sensor will flash the coolant warning light if theres no coolant in it

sensor = go wrong
