Hi,
a new video is online. This time a standard problem of the 16 Valve engine, a broken connector of the Hall sensor.
The video shows a step-by-step tutorial for replacing the connector of the Hall sensor on the Porsche models 944 S2 and 968. The connector for the Hall sensor is placed over the exhaust manifold and the heat leads to broken connectors. The video shows how to replace the connector with a standard AMP JPT 3 connector.
The video has a German soundtrack, but English subtitles are available on YouTube.
Enjoy it,
Jürgen

Fantastic video as always Jürgen! I had to replace the vehicle harness side of the Hall Sensor connector. It was a little more difficult as it required putting a pin on the wire shielding.

Hi Juergen-
I'm glad you're here and remain grateful for the expertise that you share with your videos.
I had a couple of comments that I'm glad I can share here, instead of over on YouTube.
First, for the wire seals, my understanding was that the lower compression ring on the terminals was intended to go around the little part of the wire seal that extends into the housing. That way, the wire seals and terminals stay together.
The other thing that I have found helps with making these kinds of connectors is a bit of silicone spray. Putting some of that on the connector housing flange, and inside the boot, helps to get those boots on without too much of an issue, no heat needed.
All the best and MfG

Hi,
you are right, the lower compression ring on the terminals was intended to go around the little part of the wire seal that extends into the housing. Doing that way, you'll need dedicated crimp pliers.
Doing it, as shown in the video, it will be also tight,
Greetings,
Jürgen
