I don't know if this is the right place to post this question. I have been a long follower of the forum for the past two years since owning a silver '03 P5 with tiptronic. For the price the P5 has met my expectations of affordability, maintenance, and a fun ride. Thanks to the forums I have learned more on the common problems with our cars along with engine and suspension mods. Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge and bringing life to this community.
So here is my dilemma. I am looking in bringing a '02 P5 back to life. Needs a new engine. Found a used engine at a good price at the wrecker. The issue my mechanic and I discovered today is we may need a new engine harness as the current one was damaged when the engine threw a rod.(rolleyes) How involving is it to change the engine harness in our cars? Doing research from other posts I understand the interior and dash will need to be taken apart to get the whole harness out. The P5 I am working on has the ABS and side air bag package.
I am beginning to look for a replacement harness but have a feeling I will need to find one from an ABS car, otherwise the speedometer and ABS system will not work. I have discovered the transmission has a dummy plug and will need to be retrofitted with a VSS in order to make it work with a non-ABS harness. Will a harness from a regular Protege work in the P5 too?
Do any of you guys have a spare ABS engine harness that you would be willing to sell? Any help is appreciated.
