Injector connectors

Volker wrote: Hi Graham,

well these are the ones for VW, Porsche and Citroen fuel pumps. He sells the receptacles you are looking for with article no. 4487000 for 0.25€ per piece plus VAT. The housing for 2 poles is 4485002 and costs 1,00€ plus VAT. Time for him to do some translations on his website.

Ok thanks! Wish I had known that when I ordered the boots.

I found that if I use the same proper crimper that is needed for the wire end of the connector, I can lightly crimp the other end down so it is a tight fit on the injector spades. It doesn't take much force.

I noticed something on the Finjector site.

This is the english link to the connectors:

This is the Finnish link:

Notice the Finnish link gives the 0.8mm thickness, but the English does not!

Maybe I wouldn't have made mistake if I had understood Finnish

Terve Graham,

mitä kuuluu? Pelkä hyvää, kiitos. Kippis!

Those are about the only Finnish words I still remember from 3 months in Helsinki. They mean How are you, I feel fine and more important Cheers !

I would recommend that you rather learn German, the language of Mercedes-Benz and Bosch! Then you can translate my website

BTW: Do you know what happened to PB Anders? I tried to contact him to show him the Bosch internal testers. But there was no reply and he last updated his website some years ago. I hope he is fine.

I have been to Germany, Austria and Switzerland a number of times and understand some German. But mainly I use Chrome or Google Translate! No Finnish though.

I don't know if Brad Anders is still active. Maybe someone on one of the Porsche forums would know.

I sent an email to Finjectors about them supplying the 0.8mm contacts in sets clearly marked as for DJet use. Also that they did not specify 0.8mm except in Finnish!

They did not reply! (I wasn't asking for a refund or anything) Will use Repro next time!

I am in process of upgrading my harness. I have two plans

- First, I will upgrade my existing harness. I will install the New style double cantilever connectors on all connections but with Repro boots. Brad Cushman on Benzworld is being very helpful in sourcing the plug end housings and connectors for me. I have found a source for Silicone coated fibreglass wire sleeves that should stand the engine heat better than the original ones.
- I have the harness off now and am making a full size wiring plan. I am accumulating parts and will in future make a complete new harness using marine grade tinned wire and most likely with original style connectors (0.5mm!). May never use it, just like other spares I have!
