Can anyone recommend a garage or someone in the South East who could change over this lead on my May 2008 S3 for me?
To cut a long story short, my local Audi dealer damaged this lead a while back. They decided to cut the existing lead along the brake sensor section and repaired it using crimp connectors and some tape. Repair was good for a while but now the brake pad sensor warning flashes up on the dash all the time. Very annoying!
I have no faith in my local dealers and do not want them replacing the lead. I have a friend who's a mechanic and we checked out the pads and discs to ensure it's definitely the lead at fault, which it is. Even tried repairing again and wrapping the freshly joined section with some rescue tape (good stuff) to make it more secure and less likely to fray around the connectors which is what happened after the Audi dealer repair, helped for a bit but still getting the warning on the dash fairly frequently now.
I sourced a replacement OEM lead myself but as it looks like it needs wiring directly into the loom (??) I don't fancy trying to tackle it myself and need a professionals help. Feel free to fire away with recommendations, be very gratefully received......
Here's a pic of the replacement wire and the full part details from sticker:

Poland
CFM
8P0 927 903
ABS/BVA/GDL
