Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

Hi all,
A bit of a stupid question based on (probably) my own carelessness. In the middle of my engine out project, I can�t figure out where this wire connector goes (I have been labeling and noting everything in a log but I may have gotten careless when I disconnected it this time). Pic attached.
It looks most similar to the injector harness connectors, and it�s on the back of the engine. However those are all spoken for, this one routes between the vacuum reservoir and the plenum somewhere.
Looks like Red/blue and Purple/red
Update: I have figured out that the OTHER end of this harness goes into the brake booster near the throttle body. Does anyone know where this end goes to?
That�s the other end I figured out. I�m having trouble figuring out where the back end of that wire goes - it connects to something near the bellhousing (I think).
That plug is for "tiptronic only" ..........If you have a 6MT that plug is not used...
If you have a Tiptronic that plug goes to a vacuum change-over valve that controls a coolant water shut-down valve to the heat exchanger for the Tiptronic transmission....( keeps the coolant flow shut down or faster warm-up then opens to cool the Tiptronic Transmission)..
Thanks Skip, you are a wealth of knowledge. It looked suspicious because inside the whole thing is dusty (I have a 6MT). If it had been plugged in, the inside would have at least been clean.
Thanks man.....It's fun for me sometimes like playing a " Trivia Game" ....( although not trivial to you when you NEED it) ...I have forgotten more about these cars than most will ever know...but answering these questions is a good brain exercise....thanks for asking ..
