I would recomend going down to NAPA and picking up a new harness assembly. I cant remember which side is which on those plugs, but I think it is the glowplug side that crispied on you. how did the other plug look? they have a kit that replaces the whole kit and kabodle except you need to splice into the wire harness to replace the outside plugs.
Check your glowplugs while you are there to make sure they aren't the culprit and drawing to many amps. |

For a minimal fee, I'll send you a good pair of valve cover gaskets and under-cover harness.
The connectors melted due to high resistance, either from oil intrusion or a loss of terminal tension. I wouldn't splice those...... The dealer has what you need. It's not "cheap" but you won't have to worry about it happening again.

Mahaloz guys, I already payed the dealer
![]() Got every thing back buttoned up, But Im still having BOOST issues ! Manifolds or should I say headers, are good, uppipes so far so good.. biggest mess I notice is the damn CCV leaking , Need to figure something out with that.. but I don't know where to begin to look now, Most the intercooler boots that I can access are pretty darn tight, I notice a little oil residue inside also from the CCV i guess ? How can one test for boost leaks other wise? I've read about caping the intake side of the turbo and pressurizing the system? but still a bit confuse on that.. |
