Where would one get the Bosch terminal connectors used in VW

[Mawrick 0]

Anyone know where one would get new terminal connectors that is used on the VW harnesses ?.

 

also is there a list of types with names etc?.

 

Also what crimping tool do one need? - and where would you get it ?.

Most of them are junior or micro timer terminals, made by Tyco Electronics - you need a ratchet crimper for uninsulated terminals. VW sell the terminals on their own, but you'll be unlikely to get a dealer to order you some, and also a repair kit, which is a length of wire with a terminal crimped on at both ends.

 

You can buy them online from Radionics or Vehicle Wiring Products.

 

You'll also need a terminal removal tool.

Takes some navigating and i'm not totally sure if they sell what you need or not. VW sell the plastic terminals housings, i think i bought the stuff to do my header tank conversion from here.

 

The terminal removal tools are very handy, and new terminals should just push into the housings.

Good website there - perhaps useful to list under Suppliers?
