So, I got an used car 2013 Citigo last weekend. I can keep going all the way back and still 3 people can stand in between the other car and mine. Takes no place at all in the parallel parking lol. Okay, I digress. 

 

The right off side indicator bulb was not working. Opened the bonnet, there was superglue betweem the wire and the holder! 

Now I have cleaned the wire (Exposed contacts) and few bits of wire sticking out of the plastic holder (exposed contacts)

How do I join these two together, (Joining them together, holding with my finger and turning on hazard indicator means the bulb works! 

 

Local garage (Halfords in Uk) is asking £25. I mean I just need to join two wires. 

Is there a way to remove the plastic and stick the new one in like house hold wiring or go for a solder? Thinking of getting a gas solder. (Afraid of melting the plastic!)

 

Uploaded some pictures. 

Thanks, 

 

 

There's very likely to be a part number on that connector. If you put that number into ebay search box, with a little bit of luck you'll get hits that include such a connector with short wire tails hanging out of it.

Then you can join to existing wires well away from connector plastic.

Good idea! I noticed it says VW and some numbers number. 

 

Found a connector. Looks like I have to remove a the plastic bit that goes over the bulb holder (male and female connector) Mine is stuck! Not budging one bit!

Look up 'vw connector removal' on YouTube.

There's a knack involving a push, rather than pull, prior to releasing latch.

This thing is an work of art! Not a single dust spec was inside the connector and it's a decade old! 

 

Push in, press the plastic bit and pull out. Simple and effective. 

 

Was able to get it out, thanks for your help Pete!
