08 MCS R56 - Broken Electrical Connector, can someone identify the part?

Hi all,

My coolant ended up getting dumped on the road while driving the order day, so I had a tow truck tow me home. Thermostat housing busted, but luckily I had a replacement.

HOWEVER...

When I was just almost done reinstalling everything, I noticed this electrical connector was broken (male end). It's just below the PCV heater (I believe) attached to the turbo inlet and the air intake. Can't seem to find a replacement, unless I buy the whole damn wiring harness and rewire the engine...which sounds like a PITA. Image of the connector is below.


I've heard that people can splice them with wires that can be ordered separately, but I can't seem to find the male end online anywhere . Is there one identical that I can use? The wires seem fine, so I'm not worried about those, just need the part number or any info about the male connector.

Thanks!

You know what? I think that Oil Pressure Switch connector is exactly what I'm looking for. Looks the same (besides the color of the head) of what I have.



Broken end
Thanks!

Yea ... I hate these connectors; my exhaust VANOS connector did the same thing. Found the part number at RealOEM, and found the part at ECS tuning.
