Haha, no worries I appreciate the input. I went through the same thought process myself and I think I will still point it out to them that there was a wiring harness replaced just over two years ago and let them convince me that they're replacing a different one now  :wink:

The two looms are completely different I'm afraid.

Thought as much when I saw a picture of the injector loom and it certainly didn't look like a 5 hour job.

An hour if you're dragging your feet to be honest. The map sensor loom is a pig though.

By the way, does the loom just go to the ECU or will they need to take the dash out too?

Just to the ecu in the plenum chamber, dash removal is not required.

Thanks, I'm glad they don't need to risk causing any damage to the interior  :wink:
