wiring
Posted: 30 Mar 2020 11:38
Hello - going to use the time available to re do some of my wiring - please bear with me as I am not familiar with some of this (I have tidied some of the existing wiring replacing connectors etc) but completely re-doing bits seems quite daunting.
First is wire size - what seems to have come off is 3 mm single core standard wire, which according to VWP s site would make it 27.5 amp. Is it best to replace it with the same or thin wall? I ask because the multipin connectors sold by VWP are designed for cable less than 2.5mm. can anyone suggest an alternative.
I will also need to do some soldering which I will practice a lot first, there seems to be an awful lot of soldering equipment out there, what size/ wattage of iron would best suit the job - also what style of tip - thanks
The wiring from the controls is obviously the most difficult bit - the sleeving is damaged but all wires and joints seem functional. rather than risk destruction by solder would it be wiser just to replace the terminals and sleeving leaving the rest well alone?
thanks - Duncan
