Any Solution For Broken Coil Harness Clips?
Hey Gang - A few of my harness clips on some of my coils have broken (they are so delicate \ brittle). I followed the harness but it is buried deep and tied into other harnesses. Luckily the plug is a tight friction on the coil itself, so there is minimal chance of the plug coming loose. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You can buy replacement connectors and you need a special tool to remove the pins. Honestly most of the time we just zip tie them to the coils. I hardly ever unplug a coil any more though just for this reason.

Do you have a link handy on the tool? Thanks for the response.

I do not. I actually use something that I custom made because I got tired of buying the pin removal tools from Mercedes. They are very expensive and half the time do not work or I loose them. If you go to the dealership and ask to see one I am sure they would show you. Get the part number and order it up.

Ok thanks! I am very open to making or fabricating something that works better than the factory tool as well, so will also look into that, thanks for the heads-up.
