Hi,

A starting point will be to look at the rating of the fuse for the component you are looking to re-wire to give you an idea of the spec of wire.

Given there are plenty of people breaking 306's on the forum, wouldn't it be easier to see if you can source the equivilent loom and splice in what you need?

depends how much spare slack there is, but I'd be inclined to just find the break and just join it back up if possible, halve the joints you need to make then.

The repair looms that are available from Peugeot, though a little expensive, are worth it for the ease of fitting.
