removing terminals on the VW wiring harness

I've put together this quick and dirty video showing some basic info on terminal removal for the VW and Audi platform.

Very helpful video. Working on a Porsche Boxster with the same ISO connector as the VW featured in your vid and this really helped me know how to manage the removal. Thank you!

[@syncrod]

Excellent video, used it to remove the terminals from a damaged 2pin harness

Thanks for this video, I found it quite useful. I am a Saab guy and own 3 now, but I just purchased a 9-5 this past week. The evap purge valve is the same for certain Audi/VW and Saabs, so someone took and spliced the connector from a VW onto my Saab wiring harness... grr. Anyways, I ordered a new Saab correct purge valve and the connector to go with it only to realize the connector didn't come with the terminals. Using this video I was able to remove the VW connector and insert the terminals into the correct OEM style plug, so I appreciate the help.

Really helpful. I was a bit confused about the "T" clip.. but put it in the light and saw the T. You have to press the T down to release the wire.. I found it helpful to do it with a thick needle and instead of the needle nose I used tweezers. Good luck and thank you for the post

[@electriciandallastx9182]

Thanks for the concepts you have provided here.

[@cliveyoung3619]

great video !!! thanks for the help, i only have one connector to repair but with your video im sure i can fab something up,

[@treebutcher2000]

Wish I'd watched this two weeks and 20 pounds ago. Thanks for the info.

[@darrellroireau4061]

Nice video. I wish the was an injector connector demo for a mk6 gti though! I like your tools you're selling. Maybe get some!

[@nigelw598]

PLEASE NOTE! Jef was kind enough to make a new video showing how to make these tools and he put a link in the description. Possibly over to the right of your computer screen above the other suggested videos. I nearly missed it. Or see below. Hope it helps. Thanks Jef! Cheers kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJO6aoyZaJuFhqc

Awesome video this helped me out alot!

[@user-xx5dy7dm7u]

Really cool video that you made you really explained it super amazing

[@n54anaya79]

Thank you very helpful. I didn’t notice the second barrier

[@martineen8851]

Thanks! Moded a splitpin in ok size to unlock it after seeing your tool.

[@2tallB]

Yeah it seems you could take the round terminal tool, file the ends a little skinnier, and bend the ends inward to match his. … unless you need a longer pin, but I don’t

[@mronlyjeanshp]

Nice tool great information

[@0beed0]

Thank you for this !!!!

[@athap9352]

"my tool is longer" heh heh!

[@oscarvogel2140]

great video thanks

[@dreadwings3]

very good, I liked it

[@thijshoogenbosch5151]

OLD but GOLD

[@richardnoel3141]

Hi could you possible tell me the name of the spade connectors that go back in to the plastic connector block? I’ve removed the connector wire but need to lengthen the cable. No problem but need some new connectors?? Thanks in advance

[@kenlow4028]

Excellent tools

[@petec1972]

great video thx

[@tomhowell8698]

I'd love to see details of how to make a couple of tools. Could you tell me what tool you started with to make these? Or I'd be happy to buy one if you are making them again. - Thanks

[@Cosmaionut92]

Hello Any info on how to add wires to the 2 holes connector? Thanks

[@Michelle-uf4jh]

Hello, Jeff. I am trying to remove a terminal (#3 or #85) in my TCM wiring harness. Which tool should I use? And, do you have a video or tip to fix the one wire corroded from flooding? Thank you. Also, thank you very much for adding this and your tool making videos. I have found them to be extremely helpful in fixing my Allroad.

[@d.brentharsh184]

Great video, very well done. Too bad you're not making the tools any longer, but still.. the vid was very helpful. I'm trying to fix/recoat headlight wiring harnesses leading to the headlights on a Touareg and was actually looking for "one step up" in the process - how to release the dang header from the headlight mount so I can get to the thing :). Wish I could find a video for that which was as well-made as this one!

[@nortonrider08]

I too need to get a set of these I can not find you on the web sites listed. thanks

[@JonathanTorres-fj9se]

Great video! Can you send me a link to buy these tools? I tried going to the websites that are listed on the video but couldn't find the page to buy the tools. I need those tools badly. Thanks!

[@roybm3124]

I have cut the round terminal removal tool into pieces so you can use it for the bigger connectors.

[@ddbird3]

In a pinch mirco paper clips work also

[@gravey07]

Very informative. Didnt watch till the end but i always suggest making a note of the wire position/orientation. Take a photo with your mobile if you have to. And i totally agree with you on the tools like the green one you showed - absolute waste of time. Thanks.

[@dobermann2013]

It is very useful tool certainly. Do you sell it? other question: Do you know from where i we could by the terminals? Thank you in advance!

[@hallkbrdz]

Exactly what I need - sorry that you don't make them any more...

[@kohios1]

I ran a crimp center 36 for a while i terminated wiers set up applicators and the machine and help build harnesses. So buy a crimp Center 36. And make your own harness.

[@Muxik4k]

What else can i use instead of a tool. I am doing a trunk harness replacement and happens to be different connectors for vwcc 2013. I want to swap the connectors. To be able to connect it.

[@iamjezuzchrist]

Sir, can I have information on where to buy the tools? Thanks.

[@jef4130]

I no longer make these. But I'm planning on putting together a video showing in detail how I did it. If you want terminals, I'd suggest just hitting up a junk yard and cutting out wiring harnesses. Tyco/Amp makes the terminals used in VW/Audi, but I never stumbled across a good affordable source of them.

[@dosdos4091]

От чего этот разъем?

[@A_Class]

I need to release the 2 pin 06A-973-722 VW fuel injector connector but can't figure out how. Have you released these before?

[@DZAntiSioniste]

Thank You

[@dttellez]

Can you send or post a link to buy these tools?

[@thagreen72]

Hello i have a connector like your video at 3 minutes and i would like to know if it is possible to unplug the male connector for my vw if yes how to do?

[@doloresberry3144]

[@jef4130]

I no longer make them. See my How to make terminal release tools for VW and Audi video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJO6aoyZaJuFhqc

[@alicepenney9514]

Brilliant !! The principle of the release barb is so embarrassingly obvious...I feel like a complete numbskull for not having been able to figure it out for myself...then again,I am only 65 !!!
