For the love of mankind.... how do you get that stupid electrical connector that connects to the solenoid? It looks like it has an orange tab of some sort on the top and let me say.... it is not an easy feat. Frustrated

Where is the Connector Station A-Pillar Left? Hi, I am trying to fix a pesky “check brake pad” error light problem and it appears that all the wiring near the front brakes is working and even if I short the brake pad sensors, the error light still comes on. My Bentley manual shows a connection...

EDIT: If anyone is interested, ECS has 813 972 923, which looks like an updated, upgraded, or maybe just retrofit, version, $24. This one looks like you could insert the ends of the old wires and secure them into the new housing. EDIT: It gets better -- the 1996 A4 takes coolant tank...

'00 Passat 4Mo Wagon, 2.8l, ATQ So, I watched a rather professional YouTube video on how to disconnect the harness connector from the ignition coil pack. I tried myself, and got different results. The recipe called for pliers and wiggling, thus I ended up cracking the bottom portion of the...

Hello forum! I'm hoping you knowledgeable individuals can help me identify a few mystery connectors under the front bumper. The story: I recently acquired a 2001 Passat 2.8l 30v that needed some timing work. I received it in a partially disassembled state - service position with the front...

hello Trying to install LED lights but the 4 pin connector is to big to fit from the low beam H7 socket to the high beam compartment. I was hoping not to have to cut off some of the socket (below red gasket) to make it fit. Is there a way to make an extension wire that is thinner?

How Do I Install the ECS Tuning H7 Bulb Socket Kit? My ECS Tuning H7 Bulb Socket Kit arrived, but it came with no directions. At first, I couldn't determine how to release the connector on the original bulb socket, but I figured that out. (Pushing down and out on the end of the connector from...

Could someone explain to me how the remove the terminals from the ECM harness connector? The white bar slides over, but the terminals don't want to come out. There doesn't seem to be access on both sides of the terminal for a removal tool. I did pry it out on my stunt harness and then all the...

2.8L V6 2001 Passat 4motion Hey everyone, I'm preparing to splice in a new coolant temp sensor connector kit. I've been looking through my *brand new* Bentley manual but I'm still pretty unfamiliar with navigating it and I just wanted to make sure all my bases were covered in case I can't find...
