First one is the top dead center locator that isn't used except for
diagnosis by VW dealers using equipment I have heard hasn't been used in
years. No problem.
Second I have no idea what it's suppose to be connected to. Vacuum lines
should not be exposed to air.
Third is the idle stabilizer. As you have seen, it works without, it works
much better with.
