Turbo pressure solenoid valve wires

[Hybrid55]

Hi Folks,

I just noticed this on my Clio RS Trophy (2016) and had a Google for the part, it seems to be the turbo pressure solenoid valve.

The car seems fine, other than a bit of a engine ticking noise but the car hadn't moved in 2-3 weeks and the oil looks a bit minging, but other than that there's no symptoms.

Would it be an easy enough job to fix up the cables & do I need a new connector. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Looks to be just enough of the wire left to make a repair.

You need some rodent traps down, you've got mice.

Soldering the existing/remaining cable with some shrink wrap?

Is there much play in the wire? Can you disconnect it and make it shorter rather than trying to repair the broken wire?

Cut it off, solder in a short repair patch of wire and solder that back onto the loom. Thats assuming the damage near the plug isn't worse than it looks.
You'll need to chop abit more of the pink wire out, looks like it's been chewed a fair way along the loom.

Unless you can get the exact plug?

Get some new wires re-pinned with the same ones that are in the plug and then splice those into the wiring after you've cut off the bad bits.

Use heat shrink butt crimp connectors if you can't solder very good. Nothing worse than a dry joint. Or if soldering, use heat shrink with the glue inside to make a waterproof seal.
