Hi all
I had to take the temp sensor electrical connector off my 3.2, and it snapped in half ! Any ideas how to repair this in situ without getting a whole new loom ? Can the wires be cut and a new plastic fitting be soucred and connected? Cheers Chris Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(mepstein @ Feb 26 2024, 09:02 AM)  Just by a new sensor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This is a critical item for your car. Without it, the engine won't run. Don't do a halfway job and try to fix this. Look at it this way, how much does it cost to have your car towed home? Make sure to include the time lost sitting on the side of the road waiting for the truck to show up, and your wife's good will too. That 100 Pounds might be a LOT cheaper when you actually factor in all the other items. |

It’s not just the plastic connections that break. The wires and housing wear out, time out and beak down. |
