–  Cut out the damaged section of the original cable, with Cable stripping pliers -VAS 1978/3-.
  Note
If the two ends of the original simple cable do not have sufficient length to execute the repair with an individual pressure connection after they are cut, use a repair cable with the necessary length with two pressure connections → Chapter.
  N97-0017
–  Strip 6 or 7 mm from the ends with the Cable stripping pliers -VAS 1978/3-.
–  Insert the pressure connection into both stripped ends of the original simple cable and compress with the Cleaving pliers -VAS 1978/1-.
  Note
t  The correct compression cavity must be used for the corresponding pressure connection → Chapter.
t  The cable lining must not be compressed.
After compression, carry out retraction of the pressure connection with the Hot air blower -VAS 1978/14- to prevent entry of humidity.
–  Assemble the Hot air blower adapter -VAS 1978/15- on the Hot air blower -VAS 1978/14-.
  N97-0016
–  Heat the pressure connection with the Hot air blower -VAS 1978/14- in the lengthwise direction, from the center to the ends, until it is completely sealed and glue starts to come out of the ends.
  Caution
In the retraction of the connection by pressure, it is essential to ensure that the Hot air blower -VAS 1978/14- does not damage other cables, plastic parts or any other lining.
Closely follow the instruction manual for the Hot air blower -VAS 1978/14-.
  Note
  N97-0013
t  In the event that more than one cable needs repairing, ensure that the pressure connections are not placed together. In order to prevent the section of cables from occupying too much space, position the pressure connection slightly away.
t  In the event that the repaired section is warped, rewrap the location with yellow adhesive after repairs have been carried out.
t  If necessary, secure the repaired cables with a clamp, this avoiding the generation of any noise when the vehicle is later driven.
