sven740 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Hello, I noticed that on my 1999 S80 the loom that protects the coil wires has deteriorated in places, I clean the wires and wrapped them in good 3M electrical tape, should that be good? Also, I bought the car used, I noticed that the coil packs were numbered by hand, would that have come that way from the factory? Or has someone most likely replaced the spark plugs once before? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay13 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Ya any protection you put on is OK. The numbering is not factory, techs do it to keep things streight and to make sure the right coil pack is put back on the right plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfish Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I'll play devil's advocate and say that the convoluted plastic tubing provides better protection from heat, friction wear, fraying and puncture then the tape. It also provides an efficient method of wire harness assembly and protects and reduces installation damage to wiring circuits. Engineers specified this stuff for a reason, with that noted the tape will probably be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
