VAG 161971970 Classic Series 3-Way White Flat Contact Housing Block

Restore original factory integrity, clean signal pathways, and absolute physical protection to your classic vehicle's legacy cabin or engine loom with the genuine VAG 161971970 3-way flat contact housing. Precision-produced to authentic original equipment manufacturer criteria for the Volkswagen Audi Group, this 3-pin unsealed receptacle block is a fundamental component of retro water-cooled VAG electrical architectures. Finished in its correct, natural semi-translucent white tone, it acts as a precise visual guide during multi-harness assembly while serving as a secure protective insulator around multi-line terminal junctions.

The 161971970 housing block is injection-molded from highly resilient, impact-stabilized Polyamide (Nylon) substrate, delivering reliable structural flexibility, resistance to under-dash heat cycles, and absolute defense against structural cracking. The internal 3-position single-row cavity matrix is optimized specifically to host flat spade tab terminals with integrated locking lances, ensuring the metal contacts slide cleanly into place and lock solidly against back-out forces. Extensively relied upon across legendary 1980s and 1990s VAG platforms—including the Volkswagen Golf Mk2, Jetta, Corrado, and Passat B3—this connector is the primary factory service solution for 3-wire electric power window wiring looms, auxiliary dash panel sub-harnesses, and specific carburetor power accessories. This authentic replacement component ensures enthusiast restorers and auto-electrical specialists achieve seamless, zero-resistance factory loom overhauls right on the bench.
