A Good deed, though i must be fooking mad
some person i never met or spoken too, put their 205 in for work, well to get the wiring on his new gti-6 engine mated to the old 205 loom (basically what i have done to my 205)
and after £260 spent, look what he is left with
:wal l:
so i said, deliver it to me and i'll do it for free.
this was a few weeks back, last night get a message,....
IT's on it;s way
and it turned up today, truely shocking
how can a garage give it back like this????

Fuck me thats some shocking wiring there aint it !!!!
No solder or connectors or fuck all....... a fire just waiting to happen if you ask me !!
Good on you for helping the dude out though by offering to sort it for him, and even more so for doing it for free as not many folk would offer that ! Top man.

And somebody paid for this in the first place... the auto electrician in question should be subjected to 240V of un-insulated wires for a few minutes imo
Well done for volunteering to help spiky, I guess it's what being part of a car community sometimes is all about
What goes around comes around, you never know how that person may help you in the future

The story dont seem right tho? I know you get cowboys out there,, but....
If they actuall did the job, and left it like that, they would have hid the wires in tape or something?
Just dont seem 100% right this?????

lol not a bad job eh
i just put some updated pics on there as i spent an hour on it,
quite a few wires removed, but the loom left, i think is no good, due to some key elements that have been removed,
he's cut off the lambda and speed sensor plugs
