Corroded diagnostics socket and replacing.
Hi,

The wiring to my TD5 diagnostic socket has corroded, rendering it useless for diagnostics!
Any ideas of how to replace/where to get a replacement?

Thanks for any tips! (Possibly in wrong forum, sorry!).

I can supply them with 16 x terminals, as pictured.

Or, with just as many as you'd like (you only need 5 terminals).

Also, I post them with the terminal locking wings closed, that way they can be posted as a Large Letter, rather than a Small Parcel at 3 x the price Shocked

Cut off the old connector, pull the wire back into the underseat fuse box compartment, and crimp-on the new connector inside the compartment.

You could also move the mounting bracket from the seatbox, to inside of the compartment.

As it's being replaced anyway it may be worth putting a different style plug on it with adapter loom for additional security Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I don't have a complete list Embarassed

What are the Bosch Motronic connectors like, do you have a picture of them Question

The TD5 injector harness connectors are made by ITT Cannon, I've struggled to find them in reasonable quantities.

I posted some details, here -
