Wanted: Rear PDC Loom (or connectors)

[JINGLE]

hi guys and gals, im after a rear PDC loom or the connectors off it at least (not the PDC sensors, the bits they plug into...)

as you can see from the pics below mine have corroded as they were not in use so managed to collect lots of road grime in there

i need 3 of these and i can just cut mine off and then re-solder and heat shrink to make watertight again

Could you not get the repair kit from BMW?

 

[JINGLE]

yea but they were like £15 each connector repair kit (so would be £45 for the 3 i need) which seems really expensive for 3 end connectors so thought its worth trying my luck on here in case somebody has an old loom fully working or damaged so i can salvage bits off

 

[Scooba_Steve]

Yeah that is a bit, I guess the 'repair' word adds that cost on!

Didn't you post this last week?

Have you contacted the guy breaking hi zed on here?

 

[JINGLE]

i posted asking in the genral chat yea, asking for part numbers but looks like its a mission to just buy the pins, so thought id ask in here.

and yea ive spoken to a couple of members on here but there already gone

You may laugh......... but try dipping the ends in coca cola or Redbull! Heard it cleans up corrosion a treat! (doesnt help you with your broken one though)

its worth a shot even if it just dislodges all the dirt and crap thats in there as just attacking it with a drill bit or screw driver just doesnt work as a couple of the metal pins have broken off and wedged in there

will give it a try tonight, thanks mate

Less than a tenner delivered.....
the sensors are the same on a stupid amount of cars! I think even fiats use the same sensors as well we bmw, rover, land rover, jags.... theres a long list!

thanks all the same tho. i did think a lot shared parts but had no idea which did so didnt want to take the risk
