Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Wiring open circuit with one repair position
| Repair position with single crimp connector |
| – |
Place the wire to be repaired to one side (about 20 cm
either side of the repair position). |
| – |
If necessary, unbind the wiring harness using the folding
knife. |
|
|
|
| – |
Cut out the damaged piece of wiring using the wire strippers
-VAS 1978/3-. |
 Note
| If, after the damaged wire has been cut out, both ends of
the vehicle's own wiring are too short for a repair using single
crimp connectors, use a piece of repair wire of the appropriate
length with two crimp connectors
→ Chapter. |
|
|
|
| – |
Strip the wire ends of insulation by 6 - 7 mm using the wire
strippers. |
|
|
|
| – |
Push the crimp connector on both stripped wire ends of the
vehicle's own single wire and crimp it on using the crimping
pliers. |
Note
| Ensure without fail that the correct crimp recess is chosen
for the crimp connectors being used
→ Chapter. |
| The insulation on the wires must not be crimped. |
| After crimping, the crimp connector has to be shrink fitted
using the hot air blower in order to prevent any ingress of
moisture. |
| – |
Place shrink element for hot air blower -VAS 1978/15- on hot
air blower, 220 V / 50 Hz -VAS 1978/14-. |
|
|
|
| Ensure that, where several wires have to be repaired, the
crimp connectors are not directly adjacent to each other. To
prevent the circumference of the wiring harness from becoming to
great, position the crimp connectors so they are offset
slightly. |
| If the repair position was already wrapped, this section has
to be wrapped again with yellow insulation tape once the repair
has been carried out. |
| Attach the repaired wiring harness with a cable tie, if
necessary, to prevent it from generating noise when the vehicle
is in motion. |
