It all started with a pleasant drive along the M25 when the low oil amber light started to intermittently flash on and off. As it’s a new vehicle I didn’t believe I had lost oil after less than two thousand miles which was confirmed when I stopped and checked - but there was a cable hanging down underneath.
So trip to Dealer for check up and this was the report -
“severe rodent damage to wiring of 2x senders, hence EML and engine oil warnings on dash (oil level sender G266 and Nox sender G295). reqs new Nox sender G295. Reqs engine loom connector for G295 and all associated wires. Reqs engine loom connector for oil level sender G266 and all associated wires. Reqs 10 x pink crimp connectors. reqs appropriate labour time for repair, as damage is in an inaccessible area and reqs some stripping in order to perform. we are carrying out wiring repair as otherwise vehicle will req complete new engine wiring harness which is a major repair. NOT WARRANTY - Images sent on seperate email.”
And only £1600 to repair - though I can’t see where that much money is unless it’s the Labour.
The question is what should I do to prevent this happening again. We are inundated with foxes and squirrels though in fairness to them I’ve parked my van in exactly the same outdoor spot for the last five years with no problems until now.
Your suggestions would be most welcome.
