its been discussed a while back, using some form of contact cleaner and
dielectric gel to make good contacts between sensors, ecu connectors etc.

Stabilant 22 was mentioned, I think, as a VW approved and sold solution. I
just came across this on www.macintouch.com in a discussion on poor ram
contact to motherboard.

"[James Botaitis] Todays MacInTouch has a bit on Stabilant 22... I just
wanted to confirm that it is a fairly awesome product for improving
conductivity BUT strongly remind users to read the safety information, wear
gloves or at the least, wash their hands long a thoroughly after use. Once
it has dried it's not so much an issue... just be careful when you are
applying it in its liquid form

Main ingredient 80% Isopropanol, 20% Polyglycol. I am not trying to scare
people from its use - on the contrary - but new users should request and
read the MSDS for the product before use. "

I not as interested in the handling warnings as in the ingredients. I
realise that polyglycol can come in a range of molecular weights, but it is
a hint for anyone willing to make up their own version.
