yeah, I forgot to mention that VW changed the setup
around 87-89?.  Both the high side and low side of the
AC used to be on the back of the compressor.  Bentley
manual shows it this way (with a easy to miss footnote
about the move of the high side behind the panel on
the wall).

Perhaps Bentley has correct wiritng diagrams for you?
