Coil housing connector
Hi, I have a GLK 300 4matic Sport 2014 and broke the gray lock of a coil connector housing while replacement the spark plugs. Does anybody know who is the manufacturer of these item?

You need 000-545-89-12 about $3 USD. The supplier is likely Tyco Electronics Connectivity or Aptiv. I've have noticed the housing was revised when I bought spares.
A necessary tool to disconnect most automotive connectors is the terminal release tool. The one that connects the firing system is a 2.8mm two-prong style. TKR Group & Rennsteig is an OEM supplier to many tool companies, however you may be able to use an equivalent Chinese made clone. Also next time use a spark plug boot pliers to pull the connector off...
Lastly always disconnect the power supply before you go probing terminals and use an electronics cleaner.

No problem. I ended up breaking one tab as well. I buy most of my connectors from the dealer but I am going to switch over to Mouser and Digikey (USA electronic suppliers).
Oh yeah forgot to mention to mention these connectors release from the front. You use the tool I mention and pull out from the back. The backside has numbers on it so you can remember the wiring postion. DO NOT mix up the wiring position. Write down the color code wire and number if you have to.

the connector in my car has just the gray plastic part broken. In case I found one connector locally or from my cousin who lives in Spain, what do you think about to replace just the gray part on the connector which is already installed? It would
be for not disassembly the wiring...

Yes you can just swap out the grey part, but it is a little cumbersome to remove from the housing. You are likely to break the grey tab again because it is a permanent assembly after manufacturing.
