OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 8E0-971-934-A is an individual four-pin connector housing with a contact-locking mechanism. The confirmed applications below use it at the original tire-pressure monitoring sender/receiver connection. It replaces the housing at that assigned electrical connection.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: 8E0-971-934-A / 8E0971934A.
- Connector designation: four-pin, grey-keyed original profile.
- Housing type: flat-contact housing with contact-locking mechanism.
- Quantity supplied: one bare connector housing.
- Contacts, repair wires, transmitter/receiver, wheel-mounted tire-pressure sensor and control module are separate components.
Match the original A-revision housing and its mating profile. The archive photo shows the housing and grey connector face. Similar-looking housings, different color-keyed profiles and different suffixes are separately specified. Do not choose a housing from terminal count alone, and do not infer circuit pin assignments from its appearance.
Common reasons to replace
- A cracked housing at the original electrical connection.
- A damaged locking feature prevents proper engagement.
- Terminal retention is compromised by a damaged housing.
- The housing is damaged during a diagnosed TPMS circuit repair.
Inspect the contacts, wiring and mating component before ordering repair parts. Corroded, loose or damaged terminals require their own repair; replacing only the housing will not restore a defective terminal or broken wire. Diagnose a tire-pressure monitoring warning before replacing parts, since wheel sensors, receivers, wiring and control modules have separate failure modes.
Vehicle fitment
The listed vehicles require the original matching TPMS sender/receiver connection. This housing is not a replacement wheel sensor or a TPMS retrofit kit.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory electrical isolation and connector-repair procedure for the actual circuit. Record wire-to-cavity locations before releasing contacts and use the specified terminal-release tools.
Compare the replacement housing with the original, inspect the contact-locking mechanism and use separately specified terminals or repair wires when required. Assemble each contact in its assigned cavity and verify that the contacts and housing lock securely.
Check the mating connector and harness routing for damage, strain and contamination. Reconnect the circuit according to the repair information and complete the prescribed diagnostic test. If another TPMS component is replaced during the repair, follow that component's required coding, adaptation or initialization procedure separately.
Use the vehicle repair information for exact cavity assignments, contact specifications and test limits. Verify the repaired circuit before returning the vehicle to service.
