<p>The invention relates to a method for protecting a vehicle cabling (1) in a vehicle, said vehicle cabling (1) comprising one or more cables (3) housed within a protective tube (2). The method is particularly characterized in that a longitudinal filling-element (6) comprising an expandable foam-material is inserted into the protective tube (2) adjacent to the cables (3), in a substantially unexpanded state, and that said filling-element (6) is then expanded within the protective tube (2) by supplying heat in such a way that the remaining space in the protective tube (2) is at least partially filled. The invention further relates to a protection device for a vehicle cabling (1), comprising one or more cables (3) housed within a protective tube (2), which protection device is particularly characterized in that a longitudinal filling-element (6) comprising an expandable foam-material is arranged adjacent to the cables (3) within the protective tube (2), said filling-element (6) being adapted to be transformed from a first, substantially unexpanded state to a second expanded state, in which expanded state the filling-element at least partially fills the remaining space within the protective tube (2).</p> |
