Black fabric tape - wiring loom dress-up

[G-Lad 0]

Hey all

 

I'm doing a lot of messing about with my wiring loom under the bonnet, while trying to sort out an electrical / cooling fault.

 

Annoyingly, the black fabric tape that's wrapped around lots of the wiring loom is falling off.. That's 15 years of a hot VR6 for you!

 

I don't want to use cr@ppy black electrical tape as it looks shoddy. Any ideas where I can buy nice black woven fabric tape, to make it look factory fresh again?

 

Cheers

Wurth do the fabric tape, so do VW actually, I'll dig the part numbers for them out now shortly for you.

The VW stuff found in the electrical catalogue is 000 979 950 but is felt based so I think it's meant to be used in the car only not engine bay...

 

AS-Essentials, who used to be Audioscape sell a good OE matching one -

Supercharged has already posted the VW part number.

 

The Wurth stuff is 00985 12 Fire and Water Resistant Tape, matches the OE VW tape perfectly.

prefer the braided sleeving (with heat shrinked ends) and convoluted tubing, sold here http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/V ... g.php#conv

 

JKM for one use this combo for new looms - very nice - examples below:

Okey.. sorry for the bump of this thread!

 

In my engine bay there is some wires that is wrapped in this cloth tape... Isnt that the same cloth tape that is used in the dash harness?

 

Thanks for the tip anyway.. Wurth is close to me and they did have that cloth tape in stock! Sweet!
