Ok, Thanks, so the links should be this one from which you buy the terminals:

Well, I do have a good source for the VW part numbers here, however, not all match up to current part numbers through VW.TYCO 963715-1 is the equivalent of 000 979 009 (Tin plated)
TYCO 963715-5 is the equivalent of 000 979 009 A (Gold plated)
Either of these are the best to order because they are NOT designed for a waterproof seal, so the end is then small enough to fit inside the cluster pins etc
I bought some through OnLine Components.
Have not been able to find a separate VW number just for the terminals.
Yeah, I'd already seen those pages, (actually have it linked in my post above) which has gotten me started, however, they do not list the TYCO part numbers, which is what I'm trying to get a complete list of. Not much translation is really needed, since the text consists mainly of part numbers. Aside from which, I speak German, so not something I'm concerned with.Great link.
Here are some I use:

Turbocharged,AWSOME thread! I need the contact pins for 000 979 133 and 000 979 009 repair wires.
Online componets has the 009s(cluster pins) stock and it crosses to tyco 963715-1 but they want a $15 minumum order.That would be well over 100 terminals!
I believe the 133 crosses to 968107-1 but nobody has them in stock. VW dealerships do carry them under part number N907 647 01 but my nearest dealer is a hour's drive away.
Why does it have to be so hard and expensive just to buy some terminals!!!
I placed an order a little while ago for 125 of the cluster pins. I only want 25, so the two of you have the next 50.I'm in for 25 or so of the cluster terminals. I can pre-pay via paypal if you like?
Perhaps posting the group buy publicly would be a good idea so we can keep track of who wants what. I'd be in for some others too...
Cheers,

Have you on the listI'm in for 25 terminals too.
A proper group buy in the sale section would probably be a good idea.
Like I said, it'll cost $3.50 for 25 terminals. Shouldn't be more than a buck or $1.50 to ship wherever to you. They aren't exactly heavy. I can put them in small envelope and mail them to you when I get them.How are we going to work out the shipping costs? Split it up between all the terminals?
Update on shipping costs. I just got an invoice from Onlinecomponents.com. They hadn't figured in the shipping costs when I checked out, they do that afterwards. Anyway, shipping for my $17.50 order were $9.09. That adds a little cost to each terminal. I figured it out, and that makes each terminal about $0.21 vs $0.14. If You are ordering more terminals, I guess it would be more cost effective, but it is still much less than what VW charges for terminals (between $0.50-$1.00 each).How are we going to work out the shipping costs? Split it up between all the terminals?
Ditto! Thanks for offering this up!Let me know when you are ready and I'll PP you the money.
Guys, the pins came in yesterday. I can get them sent out this evening after work.Ditto! Thanks for offering this up!

John,I'm in for 25, paypal on its way.
Yeah, I know. I can't believe I've been spending money on repair wires all these years. $30 crimper and $0.14 - $0.55 terminals is a far better deal.Payment sent. Paypal should give you my address.
Thanks!
You know, $6.50 is what VW charges for ONE repair wire. Now I get 12.5 repair wires for the price of one!
This was the best finds ever!
Chris,Payment sent, and returned your PM. Thanks again!! Address should be with the paypal payment info, please let me know if you didn't get it.
Cheers,
-Chris
Thanks again for doing this!!! Do you have a link to the crimper you bought? I have one, but it isn't the best and kinda crushes the tangs that go around the insulation...Yeah, I know. I can't believe I've been spending money on repair wires all these years. $30 crimper and $0.14 - $0.55 terminals is a far better deal.
I've got your's packed up and ready to put in the mail box in the morning. Shipping labels are ready too.
This is the one I have. I know there are probably better ones, but it works fine for my purposes.Thanks again for doing this!!! Do you have a link to the crimper you bought? I have one, but it isn't the best and kinda crushes the tangs that go around the insulation...
