VAG connectors

[chippie]

Sadly while sorting my front brakes on the Passat, I managed to damage the fixed housing connector for the brake pad sensor wiring…( ham fisted b*gger…!!)

This is the connector that is clipped to the shock absorber not the end on the pad sensor..

I can see spares are available on the big supermarket….with or without tails….

How difficult is it to swap the housing over if I went for just the housing with crimps?

I guess I can remove the wires by breaking open the existing housing but what about putting them into the new housing!

Easy or difficult?

You can buy a pin extractor tool for a few pounds from china, or make one yourself from an old wiper / screwdriver.
