Repair of A 0.22 Sq.mm or 0.35 Sq.mm Wire Connection

Repairing A Wire With Cross-section 0.22 Sq.mm Or 0.35 Sq.mm

Procedure

NOTE:
- Wiring harness repair set VAS 1978 contains repair wires of three different cross-sections (0.5 sq.mm, 1.5 sq.mm, 4.0 sq.mm) and the corresponding crimp connectors.
- 0.5 sq.mm repair wire must be used for repairing 0.35 sq.mm wire.

Perform the repair as follows:







- Strip the ends of the 0.22 sq.mm and 0.35 sq.mm wires to a length of 12 ... 14 mm using the stripping pliers VAS 1978/3.
- Fold back half of the stripped wire ends.
- Strip the ends of the 0.5 sq.mm repair wire to a length of 6 to 7 mm using the stripping pliers VAS 1978/3.







- Slip crimp connector over ends of wires and crimp on both sides using crimping tool VAS 1978/1.

NOTE:
- Be sure to select the correct red crimp insert VAS 1978/24 for 0.5 sq.mm wires.
- Do NOT crimp the insulation on the wires.







- After crimping, you must shrink-fit the crimp connector using the hot-air blower, 220 V/ 50 Hz VAS 1978/14 and hot-air blower shrink fitting VAS 1978/15.
- Crimp connector must be heated working outwards from center until it is completely sealed and adhesive emerges.
- Set the hot air blower to the correct temperature; refer to operating manual for VAS 1978.
- When shrink-fitting, ensure no other wires, plastic components or insulating materials are damaged by the hot nozzle.
- If repair wire was previously wrapped, yellow insulating tape must again be wound around this point; reattach wire with a cable tie if necessary.
