Hi John. The 28 pin connector is for the optional Jet Engine. Available only for Assaun Brown '81 Westfalia. Heh heh. Friday and all. Seriously though..... I neglected to mention what it was for as I didn't think it relevant, plus I've been posting SO many questions here regarding my Jetta engine install, I figured people would instantly know it was about that! --- ;^) Question was in regards to a connector on end of engine portion of wiring harness to ECU portion of wiring harness on a VW Jetta ABA 2.0 engine I've installed in my air cooled Westy. Neil.
