95 E320 wiring harness
I have a 95 e320 with 100000 miles and for now everything works fine but I can see where the wire is exposed near the plug ins the insulation is breaking down, any ideas what can be done beside spending 1200 for a new harness thanks

If it's only 1200 i would buy 10, they're 2500 where i live. I can rebuild it for 800 plus postage.

I ordered a brand new one and replaced it myself in August. It's not a difficult job for even the novice (like me!). Got mine for $810. Plenty of info here for DIY'ers . Good luck.

HEREhttp://www.autopartsway.com/partlist.cfm?Mercedes-Benz/1995/E320/Base/3.2L_L6/allB/Electrical,_Lighting_and_Body/Body_Wiring_Harness_and_Components/Engine_Wiring_Harness/ is a link. It appears the price gas gone up a bit tho!
You should do a search online - might find it cheaper...  Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Just a thought:
I have a 1995 e320 wagon. The wires near the false firewall adjacent to the oil filter housing on my car looked Terrible. I feared the worst, having to buy a $1000 harness. Further inspection revealed that it was only the Starter harness. $180 vs the whole thing. Replaced the starter harness and no more problemas. Again, just a thought.

I believe that rebuilding the harness will take some time but you can then use any quality wire you want, industrial, military etc.
I remade a starter harness, very expensive for some few lousy wires when the connectors were perfectly fine. I got the original "tesa" brand tape from ebay too, once completed like it should tape it up nicely and you have a factory looking harness for cheap. I have experience in building engine wiring harnesses by hand - which were usually required when a JDM engine goes into a USDM car etc etc. The RHD harness is completely useless in some cases. These old MB ones are not that terrible - Infact I like it that MB placed the ECM in the engine bay and not buried under the dash to give you back spasms while working.
