3.2 Temp sensor connector - help!, 3.2 Temp sensor connector - help! Options

Hi all

I had to take the temp sensor electrical connector off my 3.2, and it snapped in half ! Any ideas how to repair this in situ without getting a whole new loom ? Can the wires be cut and a new plastic fitting be soucred and connected?

Cheers

Get a new connector (or used).

De-pin yours (correct de-pin tools can probably be had on Amazon)

Insert your pins into the new connector

- OR -

The old JB weld solution as a short term fallback if done carefully. Use quick set or their specialized plastics formula.

I would avoid cut & splice if at all possible.

Thanks for your reply. I didnt know a de-pin tool was a thing! I'll go down this route as it seems more robust than a plastic repair (always a tricky material to bond i've found).

Next question...anyone out there got a spare temp. sensor connector they dont need?

Cheers.
