AFM to intake plenum boot. These things always get cracked & start sucking
air in ahead of the AFM. Yours already has blue crap on it!

Part number is 025 129 627 for the 2.1. I think the 1.9 is the same .....

The part that's plugged into it comes from the crankcase breather. Mt 2.1
engine has an electrical plug on there (some sort of preheater or
something?)

Yup! Cruise control throttle actuator. It's a servo motor. Wires from the
cruise control ecu go in & a cable comes out. The cable is attached to the
throttle along with the accelerator cable. The cruise control box sits in
behind the dashboard, somewhere near the centre under the heater unit
(I think). The switch is (was) on the steering column, beside the
indicator
switch.
