Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey all! I have recently taken on doing an AOS replacement kit install and I am in the process of buttoning it all up and I realize there is one connector that I have no idea where it goes. It is attached to a harness that ends near the AOS itself. I may have disconnected it from something and forgot while replacing the long breather hose on top of the engine.

POST 2Original post

It�s funny how people are all finding this at the same time on a nearly 25 year old car. See my thread here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...came-from.html It�s an unused connector for tiptronic cars.

POST 3Original post

If you have a manual, that is a connector that gets used on the tiptronic cars and does not get used. There's a little bracket that it can attach to.
