I was driving home today and the sound dampening mat under the hood came loose and inched it's way onto my turbo unit and caught fire. It melted the wiring leading to the ignition coils along with the coil packs and also burned a hole in my valve cover. Does anyone know if the wiring coming from the coils to the coil packs is sold separately or do I have to buy an entire ignition wiring loom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No other part sold on that harness. Only other way is to rewire the bad parts. Do you have an 2009-2010 R55 S N14 Engine?

 

It's a 2008 S.

 

ok then its that top one.

 

Thank you. Looks like my weekend just got more expensive and busier.

 

Only other options is to have someone or yourself rewire and wrap.


Thats the tape they wrap with after the wires are all connected and soilder/sealed : https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...m/61136920760/

 

That could be an option if the shielding did not bake off completely.

 

Yikes, sorry to see that. Yea you are going to need a harness, valve cover, coil packs. etc..

Replace that sound dampening and get new clips. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ay-or-nay.html






All i could think is turn it into the insurance, that's what i did when the mouse chewed my wires.

 

That would work if had full coverage, but give me a nice project for the next couple days. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

You are welcome, glad to help.

 

Almost there. Just waiting on the coil wire replacement

 

Get a metal tin cover on that also, that bolts to the front over the turbo. Unless you already have it.

 

I got the CTS Turbo one. It should arrive today

 

I would run that and the factory metal tin one. CTS - Thats just an extra layer. That turbo can get hot and i don't want you to have problem.

 

What he said. The CTS turbo shield will not protect the valve cover and wire harness as well as the OEM shield. Even though the OEM shield looks like crap, it provides the best barrier between the turbo and the valve cover and harness.

 

Thanks guys, I will need to get the factory one as well. When I bought the car it had no shield because the original owner put a bigger turbo than the factory one. Rather than put in an appropriate shield they opted to use none. I added the DEI exhaust wrap this weekend to give it additional protection.

 

Back on the road. Now I need to figure out where this oil leak running to the oil pan is coming from. With my luck I'm 99.99% sure it's coming from the turbo feed line.
