My first GTI: Some questions..

[laurence]

Ok so I picked up a GTI 8v the other day and have been spending some time servicing it. Unfortunately the entire thing seems to be filled with some interesting bodges..some of which are just hilarious. There's some bits and pieces missing and damaged which hopefully you guys can help me identify!

First off, one of the vac pipes are in place on the airbox but the other is missing, where abouts should it be connected?



Two plugs coming off each of the headlamps, possibly for the inner spotlamps?



This is on the top of the gearbox, looks like a sensor but been attacked with a hammer.. Looks like theres 2 spade connector terminals on top.



The previously mentioned spade connectors I think..they were nicely stashed inbetween 2 other parts to look like they were plugged in 



Finally 2 more vac pipes which have been blanked off with what looks like pop rivets haha



Any help to get these fixed would be appreciated! Cheers

Airbox and throttle body vacuum pipes an 8v owner will advise as im more offey with 16v's

Black plug is inner spot connector, and yellow one is redundant as its for headlight levellers if i remember correctly

sensor on gearbox is reverse light switch and two wires that connect to it

Ok, the vacuum tubes should be:

On your airbox the one already in place is correct.
The top one would lead to a T piece, which splits off to the (fuel pressure regulator?), round thing attached to the left of the fuel injector rail, and the other end connects to the (in your last pic) the right inlet.
The left inlet should be blocke doff, but not with a pop rivet lol 

Also on the throttle body opposite the 2 inlets in your picture is another port which should also be blocked off (rear of the tb)


Others have been answered :]
