See for photo, scroll down: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=377466&start=20    I have an extra capacitor if you want it.  I assume the pins are the same on the two AFMs.

Right. Yes. Add another ground. Very helpful. I can do those repairs "in the field" (away from home)

I did this repair on my '88. This time I'd most likely solder the cap to the leads inside the AFM.
