Wiring is a big problem of DAF!!!

Wires are in plastic tubes. If water comes it it stais there till any wire gets insolation damaged and of course corrosion does its deal.

Engine wiring from chassis to engine ECM runs below bumper. May be easily damaged ore corroded in pass side wheel, near air drier.

 

What do you mean?
