Hey all,

So I am in the thick of doing my diff install and have hit a bit of a snag. In the process of moving some of the electrical out of the way I went to release the connector on the coolant temp sensor. Unfortunately I didnt release the clip that holds the connector all the way, *SNAP*. I wasn't using a tool or anything on it, I guess I just pulled a bit to hard thinking it was sticky like some of the fuel injector connectors I have had to deal with. Anyway here is the offending connector




Certainly the most obscenely over designed coolant sensor connector I have ever seen, mostly in the sense that it has so many keyways. Honda and Suzuki stuff is far more basic. What I am wonder is if anybody knows where I can source this guy. I know BMW/MINI likes to replace whole assemblies but it seems completely illogical that an entire harness replacement would be required in this type of event.

I realize that even if I can find the connector there is still the issue of popping the pins out of the one in the picture.

 

Yeah mine is the same way...I just slide it back on and it hasnt popped itself off yet...

Let me know if you want just the connector...............$10 shipped
