Lambda Probe connection!!!

 

You'll definatly need to repair that as is one of the main sensors for the ECU and will make your car run rich and use lots of fuel

the purple one needs fixing

 

but the black one just goes into that side of the connector with nothing on the other side

the black/earth does run through the connector,it just loops onto the 10mm nut just above in the pic.

 

can be fiddly to repair em,you can either chop down the round plastic parts with sidecuts or similar and then resolder the wires (tin em up well first)

 

or you can find another connector off pretty much any vw after 93 with good connections and splice it in.

 

purple one goes on outside...

 

neil. :)
