They are called crimp terminals.

You can also get repair wires, which are 1m lengths of wire with a terminal crimped to each end. You can cut these in half to make two. The other end can then be spliced into the loom.

Nice one.. thank u. u might have guesses but i put the terminals in the wrong number in the block and the buggers would not come back out so had to cut them

cheers 4 ur help

The ECU block should have spare terminals in them that are'nt used. I did when i was fitting my cruise control.

They are a pain to get out as you need a very small thin extractor tool or watch screwdriver.

Did you pull back the purple plastic retainer as this sits on the shoulder of the terminals to prevent them being pushed out. lucky I checked the install guide to find this out.

Funny enough the tool is called a pin extractor tool.

that tool looks correct in the ad.

would of made my job easier when i did mine.

strange you did not have any blank pins i had a around 7 blanks that i could use. Maybe as yours is a diesel.

gutted... needle in a haystack at the min as there are millions of different types of crimp connectors

Maybe you might find it easier to cut out the wires from a ecu loom in a breakers yard.

gud idea
