Description
Engine sensors wiring harness 7-pole, for connection to the sensors in the engine block of the Peugeot 205 GTI / CTI 1.6 and 1.9 litres and also the 205 Gentry. From about October / November 1987. This was the beginning of phase 1.5.
Used on the following engine blocks, among others:
- 1.9 litre DKZ (XU9JAZ), D6B (XU9JA) and DFZ (XU9J1)
- 1.6-litre B6D (XU5JA) and 180Z/180A (XU5J1)
The 3-pole motor sensor harness for the Peugeot 205 phase 1 you will find here.
OPTION: Include original brown FEMALE plug and/or crimping tool
We now also offer the option of ordering the brown FEMALE mating plug (including the female cable cleats. We then supply 9 cable lugs (2 extra). You can fit these yourself on the side of the main wiring harness as it is often in a poor condition.
Should you not have the right tools for this, you can also choose to order the right crimping pliers along.
Original brown MALE plug no longer available
PLEASE NOTE: The MALE 7-pin brown plug on the engine sensor wiring harness is no longer for sale new. We can make the wiring harness only against return of your old original male plug. After your purchase, we will contact you so that you can send it to us. We can also make the wiring harness with pipes so you can connect it, but we have now (since February 2026) also produced a new upgraded version of the wiring harness with a waterproof plug.
New UPGRADED version with waterproof plug
We have now also released the wiring harness with a new waterproof plug where we supply the corresponding mating plug. Look for here.
Original and quality
The wiring harness has the original dimensions.
For strength and to prevent corrosion and short circuits, each connection between copper conductor and cable lug is finished to a high standard. This is our standard operating procedure at SKS. We also use a slightly thicker diameter for the copper cores. Our wiring harnesses therefore have an extra long and reliable service life.
Common faults caused by wear and tear of the sensor wiring harness
The engine sensor wiring harness is almost always severely worn in the 205. The following faults are common due to wear and tear on this wiring harness:
- Poor or no starting ability
- Pointers in the instrument panel not working or working sporadically
- Dashboard meters displaying anomalous values
- Failing sensor warning lights such as oil pressure alarm, coolant temperature alarm or alternator charge alarm light
The photos below show the condition we usually find the engine sensor wiring harnesses in the Peugeot 205.
Location and connection of engine sensor wiring harness
The engine sensor wiring harness connects to a 7-pin brown female plug you find on top of the clutch housing, somewhere under the airflow meter. All types from November 1987 onwards have this plug. You might want to check this just to be sure. The engine sensor wiring harness for earlier types has only 3 wires, you will find these here.
The individual wires go to the starter relay and the sensors on the engine block.
Easy to assemble yourself.
We now also offer the option to order the female brown 7-pin plug separately including the female cable lugs.
