Hey everyone!

Would anyone happen to know where I could get a rear parking sensor wiring loom for my Mk3 VRS hatchback 5E3?

All I can seem to find are looms listed for the estate/combi versions of the Skoda Octavia mk3 (5E9971104), but those are marked as for the estate (5E5).

Someone crashed into the back of me at the traffic lights and broke the wire going to the rear left sensor. 😫

I’m guessing I can’t just solder it back together due to possible resistance issues in the line?

Thanks in advance i really appreciate any advice or help you can offer!

Nothing wrong with re-joining any cut wires, just make sure that you carry out the repair in manner that will mean it lasts as long as the rest of the cable form.

Typically you would need to cut out a section and replace with a suitable section of new wire - unless that wire had some "slack" in it.

I lengthen many wires and shortened others in the front bumper cable for my Audi S4 as the Kufatec cable lengths were not correct, no issues what so ever - that work was done by me back in 2015/2016, I just examined the original wiring, checked the C/S of the strands and the number of strands and ordered the closest but slightly "bigger" modern automotive wiring, applied heat shrink sleeving and rewrapped the cable form using proper tape.

Rum4Mo you're a legend 👏 🙌

Thanks a million, that's perfect, I'm handy with a solder and I have heat shrink.

Garage I brought it to said I have to replace the whole loom due to resistance in the line and the sensor wouldn't work.

Was just looking for a quick way round I guess! Instead of just fixing it. I'll do it myself if that case.

Thanks again
