I'd guess an 8v digifant. There should be a sticker on the underside of the bonnet showing where they go

Hi

Sorry, I cant help if it had been a 16v I would have popped the bonnet on mine and posted a few pictures.
Im sure some one more knowledgeable will be along soon to help though!

Cheers

Hi mate,

have you got the standard airbox? IF so then you just have a hose from the back of that to the throttle body on the top of the engine.

Plus the vacuum tubes that operate the cold/warm air feed in the bottom of the airbox.

From that pic i'd say it's likely to go in the vacuum connector that has no line attached. Underneath that yellow valve thingy

Does your car have one of those analogue MPG guages?  It could be for that...  I think it attaches onto the carb somewhere (if not a GTI).
