Need to replace 2 of these connectors - engine fuel?

[davidpsalt]

While installing my new rear shocks, i knocked the top white connector pictured below - the male end that is seated in the bracket was so brittle that it cracked hence I don't get a good connection. While looking at the others, the middle connector has suffered the same age/cracking. Does anyone know if our sponsor carries these connectors and if so can you post the part numbers? Or do I have to buy a new harness on the engine side - these wires go to the throttle body fuel injection area ... and replace the connectors coming from the body side?
Am hoping someone has had similar experience with this problem. Thanks! PS - these wires are on the left side of the motor near the heater blower motor. My car is a 1985 Carrera. Also, come to find out there is supposed to be a metal strip that slides into the slots to act as a barrier for protection of these getting bumped - mine is missing so getting that part number would be great too.

well the white one goes to the cylinder head. It is the Cylinder Head Temp Sensor (you can search that on here).

I'm not sure if you can replace JUST the broken piece vs. having to buy an entirely new wire.

If it is the right side of the picture, the wires are molded in. You have to replace the whole sensors. The left side with the U clips, those housings and pins are easily bought by the number of positions and replaced by themselves.

The bottom wires, DG/DB are original and flywheel sensors. They are replaceable with the less expensive BMW units if you research here for part numbers. Old are brittle and need replacement.

The single wire on the white head temp sensor denotes the old style sensor which is superceeded by a 2 wire sensor that doesn't rely on the head to ground it, so you need that anyway. Check the outer covering on the black cables down by the sensor mounting bracket. The rubber flakes off, exposing the braided ground shielding.

Thanks everyone - great info and got me on the right track. It appears that our sponsor is out of stock of the OEM Bosch for $85 ... and only have the more expensive version for over $200 ... so I had to find one on another site.

Does anyone have the part number for the female end of this connector?

I am also going to buy the DG/DB sensors - the wires have dried and crack and am sure they will short out at some point - I've read that the BMW version is about half the cost of the Porsche which I am ordering from our sponsor.

Does anyone have a part number for the female end of these sensors as well?

Thanks!

This works for 2 positions
