Hi John.

The 28 pin connector is for the optional Jet Engine. Available only
for Assaun Brown '81 Westfalia.

Heh heh. Friday and all.

Seriously though.....

I neglected to mention what it was for as I didn't think it relevant,
plus I've been posting SO many questions here  regarding my Jetta
engine install, I figured people would instantly know it was about
that! --- ;^)

Question was in regards to a connector on end of engine portion of
wiring harness to ECU portion of wiring harness on a VW Jetta ABA 2.0
engine I've installed in my air cooled Westy.

Neil.
