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 Chris Attached thumbnail(s)

Oh -
Is backside molded in too? Does this terminate at the temp sensor? What is the zip tie holding together?  Man - I feel your pain now. The more I look at that end, it doesn’t seem to be serviceable unless that zip tie is holding on some sort of cover that allows access to back side of pins. Even then that is a lot of distance from back of connector to front of pin and doesn’t look like the usual type of pins I’m used to. Lots of post and words to not be of much help to you.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Yes, the plug connector is moulded onto the metal terminals - crazy but guess Porsche weren't thinking too far ahead! Its heat soak which has done it. No worries, thanks for the ideas. I think @87m491 has the solution that'll work best for me. |
