I've spoken to two auto electricians and to Audi themselves. Audi claim they are the only ones who can de-pin them and replace individual cables. They are unable to tell me upfront how much it would cost... I'm not sure about that option.. Both electricians claimed they are unable to de-pin and re-pin empty housing.. and suggested cutting and re-soldering. I was told on another forum that it is in fact possible to depin that housing. I will attempt it this weekend. Maybe it's hard but possible. Could anyone suggest any tools that would make it easier considering this particular ECU housing? Thanks

Hi! My ECU connector is corroded with a couple of missing pins. This kind is apparently impossible to de-pin. I have two options: 1. Buy new Ecu loom -> cut my connector off -> solder the cables together 2. Buy new empty ECU plug housing -> cut my cables and apply new pins to them -> simply slot into the right spot in the connector housing After being unable to find an identical Ecu loom for months now, I came up with the second option. My main question is, is option 2 feasible at all? And how do I find the kind of pins that should go on the end of the wire? I'm unable to find it online.

Hello, I've had corrosion in my ECU which is now replaced and cloned. Now I'm having to replace the ECU connector itself as there are some damaged pins inside it. Is it possible to replace this connector housing? I was told by Audi that it isn't. My local car electrician suggests I buy an identical connector with cables inside it and he will cut my cables and solder them to the "new" ones. Is that the best course of action?
