Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Single Wire Seals, Installing
 Note
| Single wire seals prevent the penetration of water and dirt
into the contact housing. They are installed, for example, in
the engine compartment and must be reinstalled after a repair. |
| Single wire seal is crimped on at the factory together with
contact on the wire, this is not the case for repair wires.
Single wire seal must be slid onto wire first before crimping
the repair wire. |
| Single wire seals must always fit with the repair wire
cross-section. Outer circumference of single wire seal is
aligned according to chamber circumference of the contact
housing. Perform assembly using only the assembly tool with
correct fit. |
