Hi guys. I have been having a tat today and remembered that I found this attached to my 2.0L air cooled. Can any body tell me what it is? It has a black and red wire that goes under the air filter and then i cant find it? :?

Going by the VDO markings, and the prongs, I would say its certainly something to do with a gauge for something.

Many are too young to be aware of these 70's/80's modifications and accessories, most seem to come from the 'plug it in and it tells you what's wrong' age.
