Repair Kit For FLEXRAY Wires Without Coating

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The repair of FlexRay wires without coating can only take place using FlexRay wires without coating from the appropriate Electronic Parts Information.

Unshielded, twisted two-wire lines -1- and -2- with a cross section of 0.35 mm ² can be used as FlexRay wires.

During repair work, both FlexRay wires must have the same length.
When twisting the wires -1 and 2- together, the -A- = 20 mm routing length must be maintained.
While doing so, no section of wire may be greater than -B- = 40 mm without twisting the wires, for example in the area of crimp connectors -arrow-.
Mark the location of the repair with something suitable, for example, with yellow tape.
Repairing both FlexRay wires is identical to repairing just one wire.
Position both repaired locations -A- = 20 mm opposite each other.

The crimping of cable ends with connectors has to be done the same way.
