2000 PSI, that epoxy has no chance, and be careful, the spray can cut straight to the bone.
They usually break because they are twisted. loosen both ends of every hard line, and retighten them to relieve any strain. Also each needs a metal rubber anti-vibe clip.
I run 10w-30 in the warmer weather and the 5w in the colder weather. (I think that's what the original Volvo manual recommended)
Would a bad temperature sensor be the reason why the glow plugs are on for 45s no matter the temp outside?

The wire harness is probably more suspect than the sensor itself.
