To invoke an answer, you need to choose @CarBot from the drop down list after you type @ and the first few letters of his name. That said, CarBot is not up to speed on part numbers per se, so if he does hazard a guess, I'd be very cautious with the reply. (No offense CarBot, but we've discussed this before and it's on my list to help you with in the future... )

What connector is it on the 944 -- that might help up find it...

That housing number 171 971 971 is a VW/Audi-style connector shell, and the terminals that fit it depend on whether your harness uses Junior Power Timer (JPT) or standard “open barrel”/Junior Timer style pins, plus the wire gauge.

I’m not fully confident giving you exact Porsche part numbers for the loose terminals without knowing which terminal family and wire size you need. If you can tell me what this connector is used for on your 924/early 944 (sensor/actuator name, number of pins, and ideally a clear photo of the inside of the housing and one original terminal), I can usually match it to the correct terminal type and then point you to the right VW/Audi terminal part numbers that people commonly use.

If you want to self-check quickly: measure the male blade width on the mating half (2.8mm vs 6.3mm is the big divider) and note the wire size (roughly 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5 mm²). Post that info and I’ll narrow it down.
