Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Wires with Cross Section up to 0.35 mm 2, Repairing

Special tools and workshop equipment required
Crimping Pliers - .35-2.5mm -VAS1978/1A-
Wiring Harness Repair - Crimping Head - .35-2.5mm -VAS1978/1-1-
When repairing wires with a cross-section up to 0.35 mm2, new contacts must always be crimped on using the Crimping Pliers - JPT -VAS1978/9A- or the Wiring Harness Repair - Crimping Plier - Base Tool -VAS1978/1-2- with the Wiring Harness Repair Set - Crimping Head - JPT -VAS1978/9-1- installed. Due to the low current strengths of these wires in the micro- to milli- range, contacts crimped on incorrectly lead to continuity resistances and cause malfunctions or failure of the respective system. The most frequent applications of these contacts are
Heated Oxygen Sensor
RPM sensor
Mass Airflow Sensor
By using the Crimping Pliers - JPT -VAS1978/9A- or the Wiring Harness Repair - Crimping Plier - Base Tool -VAS1978/1-2- with the Wiring Harness Repair Set - Crimping Head - JPT -VAS1978/9-1- installed, the correct connection between crimp contact, wire and single wire seal is guaranteed. The tool is to be used only for the purpose described.
  Note
Contacts in a normal and a gold-plated version are crimped onto repair wires. The same version of the contact that was installed at the factory must always be used for repairs.
Crimping A New Contact with Single Wire Seal
