I was patching up my S5 N/A harness to prep for finishing my rebuild. I'm going over all the wires, plugs, etc. to make sure I fix anything BEFORE it goes back in the car.

I've bought what I thought were two spare S5 N/A harnesses to steal good parts from. So I was in the midst of soldering on a better water thermosensor. The green rectangular two pin that sits on the back of the water pump housing.

Thankfully I noticed a difference in one of the plugs. The slot is on the opposite side.

I dug out my thermosensor and sure enough it only will fit the one with the correct notch. Unfortunately I have 3 bad ones that have the correct notch and 1 good one with the opposite notch.

What is this plug for? Was I perhaps taking from a S4 harness?

Maybe a s4 high impendance injector?

I don't suppose you can get the wire colors out the back?
It'll make it a lot easier to track down what it's for...

IIRC, the BACV plug is like that. As Ted said though, the colors would make it easy to track down.

All the other injector clips are S5 style.

Wire colors are

Black/white stripe (B/W)
Blue/green stripe (L/G) but the blue is dark so it might be (DL/G)

On the S5 thermosensor wiring it is

Brown/black stripe (BR/B)
Green/white stripe (G/W)though the wires I have are so discolored it almost looks like Black/tan


I'm thinking of getting out my dremel and cutting a notch and using it.

Maybe on a s5 the plug on the left looks exactly like my bac plug.

Anyone know how to describe these connectors/terminals? I'd like to get new ones and use new wires.
