Hi, I need an engine wiring looms for my C max diesel 2008 manual, so far I could not find a used one and the ford quoted me a fortune for that. in fact I have lost one of the plugs which goes to ECU in an accident so I have to change the whole looms. the code is 8M5T-14K733 VBA.

Any suggestion please,

john

    Have a root on ebay.

    There's usually a few looms available.

    You can uae a Focus loom too as they're the same.

    is it a MK1 or MK1.5 CMAX? I cant remember immediately when the MK2 came out...

    It will be a 1.5.

    Mk1- 2003 - 2007

    Mk1.5 - 2007 - 2011

    Mk2 - 2011 -

    For a loom from Ford you'd be looking at £500 +

    Unfortunately nothing matching on ebay at the moment.

    May be worth calling a couple of breakers to see if there's anything suitable.

    It seems rather dramatic to seek a new loom when all you say you have damaged is the plug.

    Surely its possible to find a breakers with a smashed car, cut the section of loom that goes to the ecu, then splice the new plug and cable onto your old loom with connectors.Its not as if this is a new car.

    I will go look at my 1.8tdci Focus in the morning.

    Incidentally, do you find your EGR gives a shushing noise at certain throttle openings? Mine always has.

    thanks for your reply, I have already bought a couple of the looms one from Ford Galaxy and another from Mondo but both have more wiring then mine although the same plug.
