Wiring Loom rubbing on Alloy Engine Mount Bracket
Wiring Loom rubbing on Alloy Engine Mount Bracket
Look, this is no biggie, and was meaning to post this info some time ago.
What I have notice during my last service was a rubbing Wiring Loom on the LH Engine Mount's Alloy Bracket.
The easiest way to check this is by removing Left Wheel.
There is a small Wiring Loom that runs vertically up and roughly opposite the middle Iron Housing between your Spark Plugs or front an rear Rotors.
This vertical Loom is only about 5/8ths in diameter and is held onto this LH Alloy Engine Mount Bracket by a single factory Zip Tie which presses into a small hole in the Alloy Bracket on the rear or right side of Alloy Bracket as you look at it.
Now I notice my Zip Tie was broken and the Loom was free to move around, not by much, but enough to brightly shine the Alloy Bracket in one spot to a mirror finish.
What I am concerned about is long term, this Loom could be worn through to expose Wires.
Prevention :, I suggest you check your Loom, if Zip Tie is broken remove it and install a Loom Protector, a piece of Tubing (Hardware Store), or add more Electrical Black Tape to the touching area.
Sorry no Pics as my Camera is down, but next time you have, or do a service check it out, you will see what I mean.
I am not sure if Series 1's have this loom, possibly, and I am not sure on its purpose as I have not investigated that ..

Yeah, it could be Denny...
I should have noted where it went, was not really interested at the time, I will have to remove Wheel to find out...will let you know next Service...but I think you could be right OD, Oil Level Switch.
