Trying to identify and source a Bosch VR sensor connector

[marc426]

Hi all,

I have a Bosch VR Sensor that should work a treat for my BMW M10 EFI conversion.

I'm having a hard time identifying the connector... It's not your classical JST Junior Power timer nor your Bosch Kompakt line.

Does any of you have an idea of where to find the mating connector?

In the case of the negative, I'm looking for another VR sensor with preferably a Bosch Power timer connection

Thanks!

Marc

Hello,

I believe it's a Volkswagen 1J0973723 plug, with VR build by bosch.

Looks like :

well that was quick!!

It does look the part. It's a reference mounted on Audi Q7 so that makes sense...

I can't seem to find it anywhere else than Aliexpress though... that sucks...
Scratch that, it's pretty much everywhere with your reference!

Thanks for the help!

Now that I come to think of it... would anyone have any idea why a VR sensor have three positions in its connector??

[mck1117]

third pin is the shield

[marc426]

Should have thought about that...

Any idea on how to identify them?

[mck1117]

the shield pin will be open circuit to the other two, and the two sensor pins should be lowish resistance (<1k ohm) between one another

[marc426]

FYI : it was not the good connector...

The search continues!
Or maybe I will just put another pair of connectors on it...

Oups ! sorry about it.

Please provide more details. What did not seem right with it?

I'll post a picture later today but it's much smaller than needed.
