How To Get The Best Connection On Your Terminals

[GLPoomobile 958]

Once I've replaced any terminals/connection blocks and cleaned the corrosion or limescale from others, how should I ensure that I get an good connection whilst preventing future corrosion etc?

 

For the connection blocks, I believe you smear vaseline or something similar on them, is this correct? And for exposed terminals such as ring terminals should I spray white lithium grease over them once connected up?

depends what kind of connections they are, if they're superseal connections then they dont need any help, some later Bosch connectors are sealed quite well but not to quite the extent of the superseal type.

 

you're correct with the connection blocks and battery terminals, basically anything that helps prevent corrosion will do the job, the different products just have different qualities helping them to stick/withstand heat/withstand water etc.

 

some silicone sealant added into the older bosch connectors seems to help a lot (where the wires enter the plug)
