For certain connectors, a VW specific shop might have replacement leads with the metal terminal already crimped on. This is what i found for a (Mylex?) connector to the hall sender on my ABA. My guess is that the terminals used on your plugs are removable. Those senders are used on other VW's. Bone yard? Older Mk1-Mk3? Neil.
