Hi I have a 2000 d2 and I am doing a power steering pump replacement and found out that when I had the heads done 2 years ago somehow the mechanic pinched the crank postion wire (black wire, with a shielded wire in the middle) behind the power steering bracket and now when I am doing the power steering pump, i see that it is flattened out and broken, only the flex loom is holding it all together, the wires are ripped apart. My queation is do I need to use a shielded wire like what was there, or can I splice in a piece of 2 wire and just match center to center and outer to outer? Thanks in advance.
need help with wire splicing.....

In the real world, zip cord would probably work.
To do it right, you'd use shielded wire. There might be enough slack to repair what you have.

i think you are referring to the knock sensor. the ckps wire doent go near the front of the motor.

thanks, i am gonna try and work on it more tonight if I can since it will be a whooping 12 degrees when I get home. The wire I am talking about goes down the front of the motor under the power steering bracket then back towards the drivers side firewall, and goes to the crank postion sensor I changed it a while back when it would crank and not start.

The wire you're looking at is most likely the cam position sensor. The CmPS has two wires and a shield, not a single wire and shield.
edit: I blew it, the CkPS has two wires and a shield.

oh ok well it is a single wire and a shield. thanks it is way too cold out here and the snow keeps coming down, so hope fully I will be able to finish this soon as I love driven the rover in the snow.
