Why does it seem like I am the only one with this part?
I asked yesterday if anyone knew what the little black box was on my valve cover, that has a wire going to the #4 coil... Well, I have already seen 12 different pics of different AWM's and NONE have this part... Also, the #4 cylinder has the coil connector and then another harness plugged into that, that goes to the coil pack and another brown wire out of that goes to the little black box... It is about 1/2"X1" and bolts to where the engine cover mount goes... Can I just remove this harness and that black box because it seems like everyone doesn't have it anyways, nor does it mention it in the Bentley or ETKA...

Okay here is a pic for the clueless...
But I want to remove #2 and plug #1 into the coil. #3 is the box and it is starting to pit away and the wire going to it is very corroded... It is only hanging on by 1 strand of the wire now...

Maybe later today, I will remove it and plug the harness to the coil. I will test the box to see
if it is some sort of resistor, amplifier or filter... My guess is a filter... But don't know what it would be filtering that others don't... I am glad to know I am not the ONLY one but as I said, if you see pics of other AWM's, they don't have it... Even on B6's or Passats...

If I'm thinking of the right part, I have it on my 30v. It's attached to one
of the bolts/studs holding the coilpacks on to the mani. But remember, the 30v doesn't have individual cp's.....it's more of a block of three. The bolts are obviously grounded.
