Repair kit VAS 1978 includes repair wires of three different thickness (0.5 mm2, 1.5 mm2, 4.0 mm2) with the corresponding crimp connectors.
Use 0.5 mm2 repair wire to repair a 0.35 mm2 wire.

After crimping, seal crimping connector using VAS 1978/14 hot air blower and VAS 1978/15 sealing device.

Heat crimp connector from center outward until it is completely sealed and adhesive emerges.

Adjust hot air blower to appropriate temperature according to instructions.

When heating connector, be careful not to damage any other wiring, plastic parts or insulating material with the hot nozzle.

If wire was originally wrapped, wrap it again using yellow insulating tape. If necessary, secure wiring using new cable ties.
