The original engine loom on my 1994 320CE needs changing. I've read that the job is relatively straightforward if done carefully and methodically and that the job can even be done in around a couple of hours.
Having examined the existing loom in situ I have to say that it is very very snug between the battery compartment /area and where the loom comes through the firewall. Rather worryingly there is a lot of cabling squeezed in that confined area as well as rigid metal pipework and hoses too. I don't think that I could extract the loom without significant dismantling of the plastic that is tight behind the firewall [where I believe the pollen filters and heater blower live]. I can't recall anybody ever mentioning that they had to remove these things though, in order to change their engine loom - hence this enquiry. I'de be grateful for some help please on the optimum way of extracting the loom from this model.
