General Notes
^
The quality of crimped termination in wiring harnesses is critical. Always use the proper tools and components.
^
Repair wires and connectors must match in size.

DO NOT use soldering to repair wiring harnesses in Audi vehicles.

Perform all repairs using ONLY the VAS 1978 Wiring Harness Repair kit and VAS 1978/AR supplemental kit.
^
ALL parts of the harness must be completely rebuilt and restored to ORIGINAL condition.
^
The repaired harness must be mounted and routed EXACTLY as it was before the repair.

Check for special surface treatment on connector terminals. If, for example, the original terminal was gold-plated, a gold-plated replacement must be
used.
