VRS 04 wiring loom frayed on brake reservoir plug

[Hmmbutterscotch]

Hi everyone.

 

I have just noticed that the  wiring loom that runs over the top of the brake fluid reservoir has rubbed on the reservoir plug and has exposed the copper in the wires. it runs behind the EGR and looks to go through the bulkhead

 

Has anyone seen this before and can answer the following questions

- what is the name of this wiring harness/loom or part number?

- would I need to replace the whole loom or can the wires be repaired? 

-how much this is likely to cost?

 

any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really worrying me.

Thanks Craig

Loom replacement would be an absolute pig of a job, so don't even consider that.  Loom itself would cost loads, labour would be hundreds and hundreds I should think, as it feeds through from inside the cabin AFAIK, so dashboard out job.

Repairing the affected wires locally would be reasonably easy for an autosparky, though a few things would need to move out the way to improve access.

Thankyou very much for the advice that’s exactly what I was looking for autospark it is then. Much appreciated
