Does anyone know?

[Reebuck1]

I am in the middle of a 3.4 996 motor swap into my 98 Boxster and I have to add a wire to the #59 slot in the 88 pin DME plug.

Does anyone know where I can find the female spade that goes into the DME plug?  and also where I can get the insertion tool?

I think I would try the VW repair wire 000.979.009E or 000.979.010E. I used one of these to connect to the Tiptronic plug when I did the (non-eGas) cruise retrofit on my 1998 996, and I think it mightt use the same terminals on the DME. Didn't need an insertion tool. It just clicked in. Sorry I can't tell you which VW wire for sure, but it was about 9 yers ago.

 

Edit:  Looking at the connector assignment diagrams, I think I might be leading you on a wild goose chase, as the connectors look quite different.  Sorry.

This shows the DME 81 pin connector.   Notice that the connector do not match the VW connector you spoke of.   I have used the VW connectors

on my cruze control install but it is not the same as the DME spades.      Still looking anyone have any ideas???

Could you remove one of the pins to show us how it looks? I think they are one of these http://parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=251077&ukey_make=972

I found the Bosch part number but only available in UK http://www.cannell.co.uk/Bosch_Technical/efi_techserviceparts.pdf

Page 7 bottom shows the plug insert and page 8 shows the female pins.

Ok, I've found it. Should be available from onlinecomponents.com if you key in the part numbers.

Rich ,  I found it thanks to Ashai!

 

The Bosch numbers on the white internal section for the 88 pin DME plug are 1 928 401 587 and 1 928 403 122.  That part has two numbers on it.

This plug has two different size spade connectors.  The small spade connector is Bosch number 1 284 477 219(JPT AMP substitute 927 774-3).  The large connector is part number 1 284 477 121(JPT AMP sub. 927 775-3).   Thank you for your help, it was very much appreciated.  

I was unable to get a pin out without destroying it.

Thanks,    Bob

Anytime.

 

Maybe too late now but you can make your own pin release tool using a steel hair clip. Here's one I made for this type of pin. The angled tips are critical.
