Common issue with Saloons within the VAG range and I see a lot of them here at VAG Car Coding. Only thing I would have suggested would have been to use heat shrink butt connectors but nice job
I use the genuine VW group connectors in order to maintain a vehicles warranty etc, which are crimp only I believe.
Thanks DJAlix. The solder variety looked quite slick but I did wonder about how well the solder would penetrate into the mutlicore wire. Maybe best to stick with the crimps.
Probably more a question for @DJAlix. Is there any preventative measures to stop this happening? I had something similar in my a6 and the dealer replaced a loom under warranty. Planning to keep my s3 a bit longer so would be interesting to see if there’s anything to help the longevity of these cables.
It was a case of use what I had at home in the garage lucky I had some fibre tape or it would of got the black electrical tape treatment It was your reply I found on an old post that gave me the location of the break Thanks Alix Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk
