Have you a photo example of yours? ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Bit different then with your battery being relocated.Gives me an idea though, will have to take the battery tray out and pick through the loom! The earthing points don't need to be to bare metal do they, just as long as they aren't oxidised and manky terminals. ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

The earthing points don't need to be to bare metal do they, just as long as they aren't oxidised and manky terminals. They really should be, and they should also be nicely greased up to help prevent elecrolytic action when they get damp.

Carl Carl, dont doubt that you did but the phase 2 xsara has that many earths in the loom it wouldnt be hard for one to have been dislodged. The best thing that could be done with this car is ripping out the loom and replacing a lot of it with phase 1 parts / wiring and putting in an aftermarket computer - which was no doubt suggested but would involve a fair cost. ________________________________________ xsara vts rallysprint |

I started to have issues after I had removed the battery to change the clutch cable, the negative has a couple of wires with electrical tape around them.When I am back from my holidays ill have a proper look over it, take the tape off, might just have fatigued a connection. ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Back from my holidays so had a quick look.Was some electrical tape on one of the negative terminals, so peeled it off and these wires popped out easy peasy so think this will be the cause of all my faults.  ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Possibly. That looks liek quite a clean connection though so as long as it was all touching it probably would have worked ok. Fingers crossed thats it ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Ill buy some eyelets and solder one or two of the wires onto each eyelet.I don't think the tip of my iron is large enough to do them all at once so I won't attempt it. I only have a small tip, for fine gauge wiring after the tips/iron was discontinued. Thats a job for tomorrow/the weekend as it looks like rain again! ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Use a blow torch if u you going to solder, can get them from halfords, Or clamp in vice, then solder if you can't get the proper crimp ________________________________________ Do you need a 205 > 306 gti6 plug and go engine loom?

I think ill tin all the wires using my iron. Then switch to the blowtorch and attach them all in the existing crimp.  ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Crimped them all individually onto proper crimps, seems to have made a difference but not perfect, no more issues with the indicators anyway!________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |
