Whoops!
I dare say you can buy new plugs or you could strip a little wire back and solder it back onto the bit of wire that is still in the socket to get you running again.

A new connector looks like it is needed, they are cheap, a quick look on
VAGCOM says they are less than 2 euros I think it is number ten in the image The Part number is 211905327 probably available from VW locally.

I had the same problem with the Buzzer of Doom connector in Germany, The garage "couldn't" fix it and yet I could "bodge" it up with a bit of solder,
Now I know where to buy a bnew connector and do the job properly.

If you look carefully into the plastic bit, you should be able to see a little tang on the side of the brass connector. Ease the tang back with a jewellers screwdriver or similar and you should be able to withdraw the connector from the plastic. Makes it much easier to solder and may make replacement unnecessary.

With the tell tail signs of green corrosion on this very critical connection I would say pop the pins one at a time, solder on new ones and see if you can order the original rubber sleave as well, to make the plug more water proof.
When new the plug was not open as pictured.
