Volkswagen Jetta / Bora: Electrical System Manual - part 77

Renewal of aerial wiring

A new repair concept has been developed for repair work on aer‐

ial wires. Now connecting wires in different lengths and various

adapter cables are available as replacement parts instead of a

complete aerial wire.

7.1

General description

♦ Aerial wires must not be repaired, but if repair is required, they

must be replaced only by connecting wires and adapter cables

offered as genuine parts.

♦ Replacement parts can be found in the electronic parts cata‐

logue: Special catalogue; Electrical connections; Genuine ac‐

cessories; Subgroup 35 from illustration No. 035-20.

♦ These genuine parts are suitable for all aerial wires and wire

diameters which may need to be replaced.

♦ No provision has been made for replacement of individual

aerial connectors in the event of repair.

♦ The wires can be used retroactively for all VW models, with all

installed aerial wire diameters.

♦ All adapter and connection wires are suitable for all transmitter

and receiver signals.

♦ This repair method can also be used for testing or retrofitting.

Installing a new aerial wire

Note

Note that the total length of an aerial wire, depending on vehicle

equipment level, can be divided into sections by aerial diversity

control unit, traffic information control unit or aerial amplifier. Only

the defective section of aerial wire must be replaced.

– Pull defective aerial wire connections off units.
– Determine the routing of the defective aerial wire in vehicle

and measure the total length of the aerial connecting wire to

be replaced.
