Does anyone know where I can get the above from?
They are the little crimps that push in and lock. Used in the quad lock on the radio as well.

They are repair wires. You can get them from Vw. I guess you are running a wire so you can enable your xenon shutter?

Repair wires from the dealers, normally about £1 each which will give you two ends.

No that has been done a while ago.  :smiley:

@everyone - I need just the end crimp so I can reattach it to an existing wire.
On the heated seat loom one of the crimps snapped, I need to cut that of and re-crimp another one on but dont have any spare!
Thanks :happy2:

You need the proper tool to crimp those on properly.  That's the idea of the repair wire - Inline crimp or make a soldered connection to your existing wire.

I don't think Maplin will have them, I've scoured the net trying to find a good supply.  I just use the repair wires now.

Thanks vRStu, I'll get a repair wire from VW then.
