Except for scrap supplies, this probably is a dealer-only item. When I've
ordered plastic connectors from a dealer in the past, the metal terminals
were separate items (for which I've never found a parts number). I think
someone reported a while back that Audi had quit supplying the bare metal
terminals and now offered only terminals already crimped to a length of
wire. I have no BTDT to support that report. Sure would be nice to be
able to purchase a supply of all the different types of connectors and
metal terminals without having to rely on salvage pieces that already had
been subjected to ten years of heat cycling/corrosion exposures.
RE removing the metal terminals from the plastic connectors: Most are held
in place by protruding wings that grip the connectors. If you can see the
wings and press them against the terminal with a fine-pointed screwdriver,
you may be able to extract them. I've also cut the connector material off
with a dremel-type tool.
