Ignition wiring

[Donald360]

I need to replace the ignition wiring that runs between the Hall sender unit on the dizzy and the ICU chip (1985 1.9 wbx). It has a special connectors at each end and they don't seem to be available 'off the shelf' - the one that fits into the Hall sender looks a bit knackered. Any info on where I might buy this part also appreciated.

Ta
Donald.

If you were to put up a pic of said offending connectors you will have a better chance of someone being able to identify them - we aren't all petrol heads but may have the knowledge from a different application.

Here are a couple of images of the wiring loom that goes from the distributer (small connector) to the ignition control chip (large connector goes to electronic thing mounted on side of engine bay). I am going to replace this and also the ignition coil and see if that gets me going again.

Cheers
Donald.

Did you try a VW dealer?

^^^ I assumed that that had been done under 'off the shelf'.
I would sort out those dodgy looking joins for a start - get rid of those horrible crimps and tape and make clean soldered /shrink wrapped joins.

I can't see what pins are used but standard 55 pin ecu connectors and others are available with a little googling - I can't see why they aren't available.

I've managed to get a replacement loom from another member - hopefully winging its way to me now. I'm also replacing the coil. Seems that I'll have just about replaced everything except the ditributer itself, no doubt that'll be the next component to go on the blink.

Cheers
