Hi

They are probably the firm that makes them for all the usual suspects.
I bought an engine bay loom from Matty's and it was fine.

Hi Diego, Ive just had one from there, you will probably need to order it as they appear to make them up as requested.

For all the looms on 2 cars you should be able to negotiate a good discount from whoever you go to.
The dealers normally have stock.

From my experience, as previously noted, Autosparks seems to supply the looms to most of the usual suppliers.

I tried to order directly from Autosparks (a little less expensive) but a long lead time (6 weeks or more IIRC). Finally ordered from Matty for a bit more (not a lot) who had them in stock.

The only thing I didn't sort out was that Autosparks allowed one to specify LHD or RHD. Being from the US I wanted a LHD drive one. But, Matty indicated there was no difference. So I went ahead and got the engine bay and dash looms for an S4 from Matty.

What I received worked fine on a LHD. Just kind of flipped it over (RHD to LHD) but maybe there are some mods, of which I am not aware, that make the difference between LHD and RHD. There were also some minor mods needed for a Federal version, but I expected that.

I suggest you request flag connectors to be fitted the +2 dash loom.

I ended up having to change all of the Lucar connectors to flags as there is simply not enough room between the switches and heater to cram everything in.

Hi

Agree with Jono re Flags I did my own loom for my +2 but measurements on the dash before I started suggested
flags are essential behind the switches. The old loom had bent both the standard fast-ons as well as the tags on the switches.

best of luck
