I am not doubting that a spliced connection would work. It would let tiny amounts of air in even if the air went in around the spice. Common sense must be employed. There is no way it is pulling a vacuum all the way to the DME and is probably not a vacuum as we traditionally thing anyway more of a path. It may be sealed as OEM to the first connector but may not matter unless you are an engineer. Point to ponder why this may be true.
Why is there that fancy connector instead of just a regular spade type. However connector type might not mean anything. The temp and pressure senders use a totally different connector so maybe that is just what Bosch decided to use.
I would however have liked to see the machine that pressure tested the wires. I will now let this die as I should have never resurrected it anyhow. Maybe that connector has a hidden piezo electric micro pump.
