Broken down. 1.4 Petrol BBY Engine stopped. Electrical burning smell. Will not Restart. Called RAC. They are exceptionally busy ! Messaged Timmus. Kindly suggested it would be a failed Coil Pack that had blown ECU Fuse. Checked Coil Packs as I have New Spares in A2. Obviously No 1 had burnt out. Took it out but Connector Plug is melted. Tried to be helpful by Phoning RAC to update. Response was that they might not be prepared to work on it as I had started by taking the Coil Pack out !

Anyway very good RAC Man has just turned up and is going to Tow it Home !

That’s the Coil Pack. I have New Spare Coil Packs. It’s the Connector Plug that has melted. Thank you

If the connector has melted, I'm guessing you'll be best using a repair loom, which is a connector, with wire tails, which you connect to the original loom, with the damaged part cut off.
Widely available. Google "vw coil pack connector repair"
The one in the pic comes with solder ring heat shrink joints.
