Audi Q5: Repairing a Wire 0.35 mm 2 or Greater with Individual Crimp Connector

Audi Q5 Type 8R (2008 - 2017) Service Manual / Electrical System / Electrical Equipment General Information / Wiring / Repairing a Wire 0.35 mm 2 or Greater with Individual Crimp Connector

Procedure

- Free up the wire to be repaired approximately 20 cm on both sides of the repair point.

  Caution

Risk of damaging the electrical wires.

Expose wrapped wiring harnesses carefully.

- If necessary, removing the wiring harness wrapping using a knife.

- Cut out the damaged section of wire using the Wiring Harness Repair Set - Wire Strippers -VAS1978/3-.

  Note

If, by cutting out the damaged wire section, both ends of the vehicle-specific single wire are too short for a repair using a single crimp connector, insert a repair wire section of matching length with two crimp connections. Refer to → Chapter "Repair a wiring 0.35 mm 2 or greater with intermediate wire section".

- Adjust the sliding stop in the Wiring Harness Repair Set - Wire Strippers -VAS1978/3- pliers jaws to 6 to 7 mm for the wire to be stripped.

- Insert wire end from front up to stop into jaws of pliers and squeeze the pliers completely.

- Open pliers again and remove the stripped wire end.

- For the repair, use a suitable crimp connector from the Wiring Harness Repair Set -VAS1978B-.

  Note

  • Always be sure to use the corresponding crimp connector and the correct crimping slot for the crimping connection used. Refer to → Chapter "Crimping Pliers with Insert".
  • Do not crimp wire insulation.

- Slide crimp connection onto both stripped wire ends of vehicle-specific single wire and crimp them using crimp pliers.

  Note

Do not crimp wire insulation.

After crimping, crimp connections must be heat-shrunk using hot air gun to prevent moisture penetration.

- Insert the Wiring Harness Repair - Blower - Shrink Element -VAS1978/15A- on the Wiring Harness Repair Set - Hot Air Blower -VAS1978/14A-.

  Caution

Risk of damaging surrounding components.

  • When heat-shrinking crimp connections, be careful not to damage any other wiring, plastic parts or insulating material with the hot nozzle of the hot air blower.
  • Always observe operating instructions of heat gun.

- Heat crimp connection using the hot air blower lengthwise from center outward until it is sealed completely and adhesive comes out the ends.

  • This is how the completed repair location with individual crimp connector should appear.

  Note

  • Make sure that crimp connections do not lie directly next to each other when several wires need to be repaired. Arrange the crimp connectors at a slight offset so that the circumference of the wiring harness does not become too large.
  • If the repair point was previous taped, this point must be taped again with yellow insulating tape after repairs.
  • Secure the repaired wiring harness if necessary with a cable tie to prevent flapping noises while driving.
