Hello!
After many kilometers of trouble-free driving with my A3, I have to reach out with a question again...

I've actually already found the error itself, but I'm still having a problem with the actual repair.
"My central locking system completely failed a few days ago, and after a long search, I found a completely corroded cable at the connector to the central locking pump. Now I don't know how to permanently and reliably reattach the cable to the corresponding contact... I've attached a photo of the connector and the damaged cable."
Is it possible to disassemble the connector so I can solder the cable back to the correct contact, or do I need to assemble a new connector?

Temporarily, I stripped a section of the cable and attached it to the contact with tape... but that probably won't last icon_wink.gif.

Does anyone know anything about this?

My solution would be:

- buy a new plug (~3€)
- Remove usable pins from the circuit board.
- Replace unusable pins (~€1-5).
- Connect all the wires to the new connector.

Okay, here's the translation:

The white part inside the connector should be a locking mechanism.
When you remove these, the contacts usually come out quite easily.
At least significantly better than in the Golf 2-3 era icon_smile.gif.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

hi!
Thanks again for the answers!
I've reviewed the entire situation again and discussed it with a colleague from a VW/Audi service center. He then gave me a cable stripper for the individual wires and a new cable connector with a pin (see attachment).
With this, I was able to easily and affordably replace the faulty cable. And the central locking pump is working perfectly again!
