Camshaft Adjuster Magnet Replaced, Plug won't fit.

Finishing up timing chain/guide/tensioner job and got stuck. Anyone know the partner number or the plug in this kit from ECS? I already got a new adjuster, just need the plug. Any links for DIY would be great. I'm assuming I need some type of depinning tool to move the wires? I'm having a hard time finding much info on this particular bottleneck.

Have 2011 GTI

Ordered this Adjuster Magnet

I think this ECS kit has the plug for change? I'd like to get just the plug.

Also, how the heck do I swap over the pins. Special tools, etc. Trying to get this thing back on the road done right, but this is my first time getting into all this stuff

Thanks!

This was indeed the correct part. Was able to pick one up from local Audi dealership since VW so far away from me. I didn't have de-pin tools, but was able to use a standard 4 pick toolset to get the particular old plug off and new one on. I did order a set of depin tools, but didn't feel like waiting lol

What did you have to do in order to remove the old connector from the 2 pins? I don't have any re-pinning tools either but sounds like you did it with just some small picks?
