8P0965531 Volkswagen BLKHTRCORD

It’s basically a plastic tube that shrinks when you apply heat – usually from a heat gun or even a lighter carefully. Before you heat it, it's loose enough to slide over a wire, a splice, or a connector. When you heat it, it tightens down really snug. It’s designed to insulate electrical connections, protect them from corrosion, and generally keep moisture and dirt out. It comes in different sizes to fit different wires and connectors, and even different colors for organization or identification. In a car, you'll find it pretty much anywhere there are electrical connections. Think about repairs you might do yourself – patching up a damaged wire, adding a new stereo, installing lights. You'd slip this over the connection before or after joining the wires. It's also used a lot in factory wiring, though sometimes it's hidden under other coverings. It acts like a shield, protecting the bare metal from the elements and preventing shorts. It’s really common in anything exposed to underhood heat or moisture, especially. Well, exposed electrical connections corrode, and that causes all sorts of problems – intermittent signals, lights flickering, things just stopping working altogether. Heat shrink keeps those connections solid and reliable. You’ll notice if you have a bad connection, usually it's something that works sometimes and doesn’t others. It’s a cheap little part, but it can save you from a much bigger headache down the road. Honestly, it's one of those things you really should use whenever you're messing with electrical connections. You can find a good selection of it over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking for some, they have different sizes and kits. It's definitely worth having on hand for any electrical work. Worry-free performance: Heat Shrink Tubing (MPN 8P0965531) is covered for 12 months!
