Dutch24V 0 Posted October 3, 2005 What market is your C from? (seeing as you have a Swedish flag?) If it's from a cold weather market then the item with the wire missing from it is the heating element to prevent ice in the inlet piping, and it does not affect running. In our C's this is just a dummy connector as we do not have the heating element. Strangly the wire is left in the loom though!? Dutch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 3, 2005 As DutchVR6 said. This is a dummy connector on my/our C's. Always wondered why?? I don't like the way all those wires are exposed though. Looks as though someone's had a right go at them... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted October 3, 2005 Yup, heating element connector - mine looks the same Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch24V 0 Posted October 3, 2005 In that case Corre you should'nt have the heating element so hence these wires are not needed. Just tidy them up and make sure they don't short on anything. As Steve says though it looks like your loom a has been butchered at some stage as the wires going to your TPS have been hacked and rejoined. I'd check the condition of the joins on these wires as they could be corroded, which would give you running issues. Dutch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
