Most plugs have the part number on them Gaz.
Getting the pins out can sometimes be in issue, I have a couple of the special tools but they aren't cheap.

cheers Stu, the pins have rotted away :confused:

From the PN of the plug you can ascertain the numbers for the repair wires :evilgrin:
Are you going to repair it yourself??

think so, if not one of the sparks at work can help me :smiley:
so VAG sell repair wires to splice into the original loom?

So it's the car end Gaz and not the brake pad??

Gaz
The plug on the pads is 1J0 973 702
The plug on the car end is 1J0 973 802. The suitable repair wires for this plug are 000 979 020 E. You'll only need one as each wire has 2 terminals fitted.

cheers Stu, top man :happy2:

They may tell you the wire has a superseded part number, they seem to be changing a few of the repair wires lately.

I've got 4 of the D shaped plugs (including pins) if those are any good to you, Gaz?
