When I changed the coil packs the other week, I noticed that the wiring harness insulation was badly split, exposing the copper inside. Is there a repair kit for the injector harness, or is it a case of get some liquid insulation and re seal? Don't really want to try and fit tape to it. Mk1 vRS AUQ engine btw

Injector or coil pack harness? Coil pack ones normally split, not heard of injector one splitting.

 

Coil pack harness 1J0971658L or M about £35/£40.

Coil packs, sorry, should have clarified

very common on all 1.8t VAG cars. So common AUDI had heat shield fitted to the TT's . you can't get a repair loom only the full loom. It is a pita job and involves ECU and main loom wiring into . Or you could cut it and make join just down gearbox side. most folks just reinsulate where the exposed bits are. I would also recommend fitting either the AUDI TT loom heat cover or the Golfmk5 FYI cable conduit ..

Lovely, cheer's. Better have a head scratch then I think

You can try, as written above, to reinsulate the stock harness instead of opening big deals with the ecu harness or cutting and soldering cables... Try to find the ''cloth'' insulating tape instead of the cheap ones that will be burned again from engine temperatures.

 

By cloth tape i mean something like this 

 

And of course after reinsulation, use and the cover which, correctly, was mentioned above.
