The rubber boots fell to pieces on my harness too but the actual metal connectors to the glow plugs were sound. I sleeved the metal bits with silicone rubber sleeves, supposedly good to 250 degrees C, and then covered them with with braided fibreglass heat resistant insulating sleeving.

It seems to have worked so far.

If you haven't already checked, it's worth testing that the glow plugs are OK. When repairing my Tdi after a cambelt disaster, I found all five glow plugs were open circuit and probably had been for some time!

Good luck with your repairs
