Default Audi plugs

Does anyone know of a good web site that has a good selection of Audi plugs?

Audi don't do the plugs that I need.

If Audi doesn’t deliver the plugs, that means you don’t have the part number ?

I have seen that ecstuning have a big selection of oem electric bits, probably other similar shops too, but it might be difficult searching for it without a part number..

Or if you try to google what it’s used for: «audi windscreen washer plug» or something ?

Default Helpful doc

Some time ago I came across this useful document which lists many common connectors and pins
http://www.vaglinks.com/Docs/Catalog...m_Audipins.pdf

I also use ETKA to find the connectors if its not in the above as each loom has a diagram and parts list

I've gone through ETKA.
That's a nice little PDF. Thank you.

I need to make an adaptor cable to convert my car from 26 pin to 20 pin.
I need the 26 pin socket so I can plug my OEM 26pin plug in to it.

I don't want to remove the plug and put the 20 pin one on in case I got to revert back to 26pin.

20 pin CAN plug, 8E0972420B. Probably cheaper through TPS.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282521513257?

But this used one is better as you'll get the pins and some wire.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263221449575?

Edit
I actually have a few of these myself. I could probably make the 26>20 adapter as I have all the parts and pin outs.

I got a 20pin plug from a FIS cable I got left over, its the 26 pin socket I need so it all clips together OEM style and doesn't fall apart.

I'll PM you.

26pin gateway connector on the left. Wire a "13x2 dupont" with male pins (both centre) to the 20pin red gateway (right) and job done

Wrong way round mate.

Need to plug the 26pin plug from the car in to the 26pin socket and then plug the 20pin plug in to the 20pin socket in to the 20pin gateway.

That loom you posted would be great for plugging two gateways together.

Ahhhh I see what you mean now.

Didn't think of that.
I'll have a rummage through my cable box and see what I might have.
