Vendors please help, we need this 2 pin connector!

It needs 2 beveled corners and takes 2 small flat pins.

This it?

That's the part number in the pic.

The boot (protective cap) is 447919141 in the parts catalog.

Yes, as I said, the individual bits are available and common to many older VW/Audi vehicles.
What I'm attempting here is to get someone to offer a fully assembled splice-in wiring pigtail kit.
When I buy a replacement Syncro fuel tank sender because the contacts on the old one have corroded away, I'd like to put a complete new end on the wiring to match it.
Not just a bag of bits to attach to old corroded wires, an assembly with new wire pigtails already attached.
The same pigtail would work for the even more common corroded coolant level sensor harness.
Corrosion tends to work its way up the wires and after cutting some wire off back to a cleaner spot the wires may be too short so extra new wire is helpful. Also if you can't cut far enough back to find clean wire inside you may have to revisit the splices sooner than you hope and having to replace generic splices is much better than having to source and replace the VW connector pins again.

Yes, I'm fully capable of sourcing my own loose bits and installing them but that isn't what I talking about HERE.

The closest thing I've seen so far is a UK vendor's product, but it is just a bag of loose bits, nice as they may be.

Right, I know that.

I'm merely attempting to provide the vendors, like RMW who posted above, the correct part number for that specific connector so that they, you know, can perhaps source a bunch of them and put together a replacement kit.

Thank you. I already provided the numbers I have to the vendor who expressed interest.

And yet they are so keen to offer similar items that one might say the same about. For example:

Don't be your usual jackass. This was a legit request to the vendors for a legit part that frequently needs attention.

Why not see if "thatvwbusguy" wants to do it? He does headlight pigtails and other things...

I have all the parts and tools in hand already, been building harnesses for decades, even as part of my former professional electronics career. I am trying to get a Vanagon supplier to add a valuable and needed part for everyone to have available, its as simple as that. I recently stocked up on the pins and looked for the shells from somewhere other than VW parts channels. It is a common and much needed part, we shouldn't have to scrounge for it. If one of our vendors can make a few bucks and make some customers happy, great. I have my own supply covered for now.

Mark

[thatvwbusguy]

I will see if I can source the connector. I'm thinking that a repair kit with a 6" pigtail and a couple heat shrink butt connectors would be the way to go.

Mark, please PM me some specs and I will see what I can find.

The local VW dealer list price for the parts to make the pigtail with boot is $29, with tax $31

For that I get to drive 15 minutes each way, order it, come back a few days later.
Or I can mail order it from that local dealer for another $10 shipping making it $41
In either case if I am not positive of the part numbers needed it may take some time for them to look them up for my 35 year old van. If wrong, then what, try again, eat them?

I can find it for a little less on the web from distant VW dealers who discount.

I also have a pile of those yellow wired VW repair pins like in your photo. Had most of them many years, waiting for a sudden need, most will never get used. Some of them now cost close to $30 for a single wire with 2 ends.

Repair connector kits are now available for $8.50 including shipping via First Class Mail in the US. I have about a dozen currently in stock and more on the way.

Kit includes beveled connector with 10" wires and a pair of Molex PermaSeal butt connectors with heat shrink and internal adhesive.

I have the following wire colors in stock and can set them up with whatever color combination you would like: Red, Black, Yellow, White, Brown, Green, Purple, Blue, Orange, Pink, Light Green, Tan, Grey.
