This 29-pin bulkhead connector is one of three in my 89 Saab 900. The part numbers have either a VW or Audi logo, depending on the color. They're AMP connectors.
Where I can buy the tools to remove the pins?
Any idea which model VAG cars I can find these in the junkyard? (Getting them from another Saab is a PITA.)
Can you read the part number? The first three digits will tell you what chassis or engine family it went with.
As I recall it doesn't take a special tool to extract the pins - just a small pic or screw driver to reach in and depress the small tab that holds them in. And I'm intimately familiar with electrical problems on 70's/80's/(we could go on) VW's. Spent a lot of time building entirely new circuits to bypass the OEM stuff.
As for pulling those pins I am pretty sure any good auto parts store can get you a quality depining tool or you couls go the ebay rhoute.

I've made pin extraction tools for those from a paper clip with a ring formed into the end, it works, but I really need one of those extration tools.

Looks kindof like the connectors on the back of the fuse box on A1 and early A2 cars.
The pins burn up on VWs too.
early 924's use similar pins.
a local electronic supply shop should have pin extractors of various sizes. Fry's for example.
How about small diameter metal tubing glued or soldered to a small handle?
