Hello people...... In process of upgrading Motronic 1.0 too 1.3. I have done everything as per Wiki How to Convert page but just as you think your there....boosh....'Ummm Wheres that go'?

Can someone tell me what the plugs with bracket in attached pics are for: The wires come out of the Motronic 1.3 ecu plug to the 2 conections in pics?

I'm guessing its something so obvious it pointless mentioning them in all guides...lol.... Sadly its not obvious to me hence I'd appreciate having it pointed out... :?

Unless you have aircon or a switchable auto gearbox, they won't be required.
