Upper engine harness

[Berglund]

Hi
I read in several thread about the engine harness. I just checked the two in my car.
On the upper harness I find a white/silver marker, just outside the box,
I even snapped some contacts on the engine, different injectors and other contact.
All the cables/wires look good, can’t find any issues in anywhere.
If the harness isn’t in good shape,
Tell me just, where on the harness will I easily find the issues with the wire?
Regards Niklas

Bad insulation is very obvious.

Thanks for the pictures.
My harness seams be in very good condition, not nearly like this on pictures.
And feel also soft and smooth.
Now I don’t need to be worrying.
Cheers
Niklas

Harness # 124-440-20-06 is available new in USA for <$350 USD plus shipping... not sure about pricing in Europe.

EDIT: The manufacturing date is "FD", not readable on the tag above. "ZD" is the design/engineering date, which is irrelevant.

NO, I would NOT buy a harness with a 1993 production date. NEVER.

Get an MB replacement, as said.
