I've been building a Tech Edge wideband lambda sensor convertor for use
with my Megatune - and the supplied connector for the sensor has arrived
sans terminals. Obviously I can get them from Tech Edge - but they're in
Oz and tend to take a while. It's a Bosch 7057 or 7200 Connector - pic
here.

I suppose I wouldn't have too much trouble sourcing a complete plug from a
dealer - but wondered if anyone recognises the actual terminals as a
generic? I've checked out RS with no luck. They're female and accept a
thin blade 3.5mm wide.

Looking at the page and the part which states that Bosch were forced to
continue manufacture of one of the plugs, I doubt you'll find them from
anywhere other than an automotive suppliers. Might be worth trying auto
electrical specialists though.

Ah - missed that bit. I'll try a search on that. Although of course I only
want the terminal - no wire.

The other obvious one would be to try the VW partnumber listed with the VW
dealer. They're normally quite good for that sort of bit, and reasonably
cheap.

VW sell the pins connected to short lengths of cable as repair bits- so
you could splice those in. I can get a part number if you need it.

Thanks but no - I reckon I've got the correct crimp tool so would rather
not add extra connections.

Yep picked up stuff from MB Spares come in along the Federal Hwy then
back via the airport road. Would have only been 10-12k detour to visit
Aranda. No problem at all. Have relo's in Bruce which is next door.
