Need the Euro LHD Guy's Help

Ok. I've had my DKF Sec 1 Installed for a while now. I'm about to go in there and do some diagnostics to try to figure out the MIL Problem i'm having before i point any fingers. So, that being said i know i just quick routed my oxygen sensor wire while i was down there to get the car running. I'm about to order 2 new Longer o2's and the clips that hold the wiring under the vehicle from touching the exhaust.

So with all of that being said, I'm hoping if any of you Euro guy have either access to a lift, OR if you dont' mind.. crawling under the vehicle and pulling the shield down and snap a few pictures of how your oxygen sensor and E.G.T. wires are routed. I'm really wanting to route them as they do from the factory for the Euro LHD Models.

Yes yes, i know i can just zip them to the lines and tuck them, but it's not the point (before anyone chimes in that idea.) Either way, I want to route them properly, whether i can figure out my MIL through diagnosis and see if i did something wrong, or at least have the wiring done properly and ready for when i swap to Euro cats (as much as i'd hate to do that.) But, first things first.

Thanks to any of you guys willing to help me out with this little project. Unfortunately, i dont have access to euro harness routing diagrams, only us

When you say MIL light, did you hook up an OBD II scanner to see what the actual code is? I suggest you pinpoint the issue first. Now as far as routing, can't help you with pictures but what I did is I cut a whole in the shield close to where the secondary O2s are and rerouted to ECU. That additional 5 inches or so was enough for me to keep the original lengths of the O2s.

Good luck!

yea, i already trimmed the harness back and have the plugs and 02's set, but i don't like how one is barely fitted and the second it pretty taught against the wiring. I know what my codes are, and their time to set has decreased as time has progressed. Either way, I'm lookign for pictures of the factory euro lhd wiring so that i can set my wiring the proper way without cutting, rigging, and 'making' it work.

I do appreciate you trying to help SCHMOUPE, But i'm very picky when it comes to things like this.
