- Ignition Coil Connectors are commonly broken, as these electrical connectors may become brittle over time. When the tab breaks off the electrical connector it can become difficult to remove. In this video we show you how to take off an ignition coil connector on a VW or Audi with a broken tab on it. We also show you the process of how to remove the terminals and install a new connector. Replace the broken ignition coil connectors on your VW or Audi 2.0t or 2.5L engines.

How to find Misfires on your VW or Audi (Pre 2015 Models)

Rock solid. Splintered two of mine changing coil packs trying to clear a misfire code, and stumbled on this. Ordered replacements from Deutsche and had them in within a few minutes. You can do it, my people!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. As someone who owns a 2.0 TSI VW, I really appreciate you illuminating this murky subject!
Very nice tutorial! I didn’t realize the connector could be replaced, I thought one would have to replace the entire wiring harness.
That'd be silly
So no need to change the wires just the connectors and all good?
@@dennisakoglu2718 Hi Dennis, you're correct: just need to change the connector. The wires usually don't get damaged, but the connectors get damaged all the time because the process for properly disconnecting them is not obvious, so people tend to manhandle them and break the fragile plastic. Therefore it's actually really nice that there's a way to replace a damaged connector without having to replace the whole wiring harness :-)
@@tedjohnson64 thx for advise bro
Thank you so much for this video it kept me from breaking mine and I was able to get it off instantly after I watch the video and I'd already spent 20 minutes trying to figure it out myself😂
It shows you how bad the design in that it's not immediately obvious how to work it.
This was very informative, Paul. I had no idea they were fairly easy to replace. I was sweating it when changing plugs a few months ago just waiting to hear that familiar “snap” of plastic breaking.
Great video, I'm gonna be doing this now.. I thought it was normal to have a wrestling match with the connectors
I’m frustrated that I can’t source a taillight socket anywhere. But maybe this video will be my work around. DAP, your videos are really good. Thank you
Thx u man! The best explaining & understanding video about this connector situation on YT…. I was going to give up but good thing I had found your video…❣️🤞🏽💯
I have used a paper clip bent just right to release those pins.
I just wanted to say thank you for your comment. I was struggling with trying to get the connectors to release and the paperclip method worked 💯.
Thanks for this video. I just replaced 2 connectors and saved lots of $.
This is the simplest, quickest not to mention cheapest fix that no pro mechanic fixes ever.
Ok?!?!
Bought connector from you after watching this video, but it was the wrong one! Had to end up buying mine straight from the stealership for half price, but at least they’re fixed now. 🙏🏼
I feel like I should buy a connector from you. And none of mine are broken.
Ere 4xe,xx,,x3,,,3xx3x
I want to buy connectors from them too, and mine are probably broken, but I spent all my money on gasoline cuz I'm running too lean. Uuuggghhhhhhjh pray for this girl, much needed.
Paul thanks for the video. I need these connectors since all 4 are broken on my gti and I’m going to buy it from you guys 😎 👍🏼
Thanks for the support. We appreciate it very much!
thank you on behalf of my r36 for an easy brand new connectors install :D
Thanks Paul! You saved me an expensive visit to the dentist as I was about to rip those damn connectors off with my teeth
Nice vid! Great to see you have an easy replacement kit. I will be sure to buy from you guys when I need one.
I pushed down on mine and they snapped. The tabs were really difficult to push down. Using a 90 degree pick is probably easier.
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY lmao
Sorry, I have a MK6 Golf TDI, but I did enjoy learning and the video. Please continue the relaxing content. What is the plan with the touareg?
Rat chewed up my camaro electrical wires connectors, deff needed this thanx
very helpful, thank you. now I'll go buy some replacement parts from your web site
could a damaged connector cause the vehicle to misfire?
Yes.
Yes mostly definitely
Yes
yes, if it doesn’t throw a check engine and it’s misfiring change spark plugs and then check the packs, if the connector clip is cracked it could be not seating all the way down and causing misfire
Yes, most definitely
Only reason Im watching this is cause one of my wires broke off from the back and I needed help on how to fix it good video btw
Good intel 🍻 bought one and prior things and future things. I appreciate the great instructional videos. Showing support in return by shopping for parts from Deutsche Auto Parts is the least people can do.
Thanks for detailed explanation, great video, do you need to disconnect battery before you work on coils adapters??
best video on coil connectors info/instructions clear and easy perfect for an vw owner,showed me how to remove the wires correctly. #skylog #Ayiinmyke
I finally got around to doing this on my Tiguan. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
Great work guys, I'm about to attempt the same thing, I'm going to refresh my wiring as well,
Awesome thank you this is very thorough much appreciated...now I can buy a VW tiguan and rest easy :)
I have 2 broken. I’ll be buying!
Great video! thanks for making this video, it is very helpful.
Great video!
Is this the same with the mk7 gti? I have a 2015 gti and want to replace the one I broke.
Super helpful!
Thanks 🤩
I have no fire on cyl 1 after intake manifold replacement. It's not coils or plug, but I did damage the connector a little.
Could that be the reason or is there anything else it could be, like a fuse?
Thanks man your video helps me
Is this good for all engines with them? I have a grand Marquis
Very good videos
Can a broken ignition coil wire connector cause a misfire?
hi mak i thank you so mushe -you helped me
Love the ending!
hi , Humble mechanic , my scirocco 2.0 tsi need a fuel pressure sensor replacement can you please do a video on how to do it? cheers
Could you guys please do a video on a MK6 GTI reseal cam cover.
Ive got s 97 lincoln town car, check engine light was flashing and rough idle and hesitation/shakes when accelerating. took it in to get the spark plugs changed. And it Was worse , checked the engine and a coil connector was unplugged so i plugged it back again and its driving better but i got another flashing engine light today. Thinking maybe its the coil connectors? Or one of them ? They look old a tattered. What should be my next move to get done at the mechanic ?
I broke 4/5 of these on a 2010 2.5. I will buy the replacements from DAP! Do you need to disconnect battery before doing this or is there no risk of some sort of electrical damage?
Hey guys after watching this video I was stoked to go put new connectors on after seeing how easy it looked...I forgot to DISCONNECT my BATTERY and while unplugging them from the rear two of the wires touched making a little zap. I finished putting all the new connectors on and now my car will crank over and will not start.and now hood is flashing red on dash. What do do,Did I try the computer or is there a fuse or relay I should be looking for?please help me..
just did this lmaooo
btw its the 20a fuse in fuse relay number 8 under hood under windshield wiper tank on drivers side (left hand drive) replace and should be good to go.
@@Lovely_planet I didn’t disconnect my battery either. Now I have a rough start/idle and check engine light. Same thing?
Thanks,
I have to replace a couple of connectors.
They became brittle after 20 years...
Hi, my name Genival,
very good video
I have a Passat highline 2.0 turbo
When I changed the connectors I forgot to take a photo of the wires,
Could you send a photo of the thread sequence?
Thanks
Hello, My Audi doesnt have this connector on Turbo Sensor, will this type of connector which connects Coil work on Turbo ??
Very great video
Thank you for this tutorial!! I ended up breaking the clip from the connector harness but it seems snug. Do I need to replace? Or do you recommend a replacement?
Just did the same thing today drove it around didn’t misfire or anything so I’m assuming it was pretty secure but I would personally still replace them just to be safe
Zip ties ftw!
Thank you, very helping video
Hey so I broke two. Could this cause a code to say multiple cylinder misfire? Engine runs fine as if there isn’t a problem and not check engine light… weird
For those without the specialty tool. 2 paper clips.
Where can i get a terminal tool like that one?
Excellent info..
Same for mk7’s mqb engine?
Great video
I broke a purple locking tab is there a place I can buy replacements?
Is it possible to buy just the terminals for the wiring? My connectors are not broken but noticed that my terminals looked oxidized. Used some electric terminal cleaner in the mean time.
great vid man
Do you sell the connector for a 2018 Tiguan MAP sensor? The one with the gray tab?
Nice video Thanks!
What if you don't have that releasing tool for the wires? Can you splice all the wires with the new connectors?
I wouldn't. The tool is best, but if you have new connectors the old ones will likely just fall apart. The little plastic piece separating the wires facing the coil is thin and usually brittle. Most fell apart when I did mine, but you could do the same thing by breaking it off with some needle nose. Pull it forward. Pull the wires out the back. Just be really careful with those wires.
Very informative, I am going to fix the one I broke on my 1.4tsi ACT CPTA engine, only thing is what kind of terminal tool will it be? I would order from you guys but I live in the UK and don’t fancy paying £10-40 in import duties, I have seen a laser branded one which I have good experience with (with their thin spark plug extractor) part number 3932 ☺️✌🏻
This may be a crazy question but are the connectors for the coil packs the same used for the tail lights? I have an '06 A3 8P.
Thanks.
Mine is really bad - can replace the complete harness? Is this available at your online store?
Hi where can I buy the pin tool ?? Thanks a lot
Do you need to unplug the car battery ?
Apricated sir , plz teach us how to replace camry 2007 2.4 MAF connector , I found 2 times when i am gonna fix its break even I baught special pins open tools form amazon but still cant open ...still all over youtube no one uplaod any video regarding camry 2007 MAF sensor connector replace or repin...many thanks
Does it have to specifically be this one because I bought a genuine one and its the right piece just my wires won't snap in so does it have to be this one?
So mine is an Audi A4 2007. I changed the coil packs twice and the spark plugs. Still had an issue with #2. Would this connector fit on the audi?
When I did this I didn’t unhook the battery in two of my plugs soldered together in now I have no spark do you know what could have happened?
Where can I order a new wire with terminal on it ?
What size terminal tool do we need to use? I need to replace a connector plugged into my intake
Just my clip broke. Can I continue to drive with a single broken clip?
I was gonna buy the tool from yall but it says its on backorder 🙃
Hoping I can do this exact thing on my 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Not sure though.
Paul help please
I have an engine that shakes badly after we thought the problem was the injector!!
Well, we had to change one of the injector's but the rugh throttles and shakiness still there!!!
What do you think it is the problem mate!!?
AHH!!! I've got a 1.6 TDI VW engine by the way.
Thank you Paul
Hi there, if the number of the wire is not correct. What will happen if we try to start engine?
Thanks
Can you make a video on a bad dsg dmf I’m so confused on how to tell if mine is going out or not
I'm having a problem putting it back after valve cover seal replacement
I just broke 2 of them trying to replace the coils.
now I have utra crap idle, and broken connectors.
Is that the same connector as the fuel pump? (2004 Passat)
Hey I have a 2004 Nissan Marano I got a tuneup and cylinder one still misfire what could possibly be the reason why only one still misfire
When will you continue on the VW touareg I have the same engine in my Audi A6 C5 and I want to know what will you do next pleeeeeeeease
Hello! Might be a longshot but i really really need help with my Volkswagen Tiguan 2012 160HK Engine code: CAVD, CTHD.
I've had my car in to the local workshop/repairman who has changed all 4 Ignition Coils, all 4 Spark Plugs and also tried to change positions of the new Ignition coils with each other to see if the "code-reader" the pc or whatever i should call it would say anything new.
Translating with google on alot of these things, sorry for that.
so to the problem:
The scan/reader gives error messages:
P035100, Passive/sporadic, ignition control cylinder 1 malfunction.
P230000, Passive/Sporadic control ignition coil 1 short circuit to goods
P050700, Active/static, idle control speed above the setpoint.
P227900, Active/static, leakage air into the intake system.
P030100, Passive/sporadic, 1st cylinder combustion ignition located
P130A00, Passive/sporadic, cylinder removal(Maybe should be cylinder opt-out)
P030000, Passive/Sporadisk, combustion fault ignition located
First it only showed the passive/sporadic error codes the first 3 times i turned it in to the workshop.
Then more came.
The car can work normal, but the engine light is on. then suddenly the car can start "shaking" and the more i try to accelerate the more it shakes.
As said before. The repairman has tried to change all ignition coils and all the spark plugs. Now he said i could try and search around on the internet to try find what is needed. He is pretty old and not that good with computers, that's why he asked me.
Please, can u help with the problem ?
Hi don't you have a video to replace a ignition coil pack on the golf 5 gti fsi {bwa} engine
Is it necessary to disconnect the battery to replace a connector?
Yes! After replacing all four on my Audi Q5, accidentally 2 times the wires got together for 1-2 seconds making sparks, now my car in not starting, I checked all fuses, all are perfects but I am not getting power to the ignition coils; does anyone have any idea what could be happening? Also I disconnected the battery just trying to reset the computer, but it didn’t work
Is this the same for a 1.8t
There has got to be better ways to do connectors that's less of a pain.
Great !!!! Thanks Bro !!!!
What if all the wires are black? I messed mine up on 2011 Altima and smelt a burning smell..HELP
