Plug 6 is for the 2 oil pressure switches. On waterboxers with 2
switches there are 2 brown wires, one from each switch, that go to the
same 2 pin connector. Plug 6 goes to that connector.

Plug 7 looks to me like the Temp 2 sensor wires. Not certain but VW uses
matching blue plastic housings on both the sensor and the plug for it.
