What does this orange connector do?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/37457/1.jpg"></center><p>I assume it is for the oil pressure and temp senders. If i have this plug, does that mean i have senders installed?
My car did not come with extra gauges, thus this connector was hooked to nothing. I assume that they would not put a connector in the dash that hooked to nothing.
The black plug is the sender connector for the wiring harness for the gauges. Notice the same color wires.

have you checked...
to see if there is continuity between the connectors? It may be a case of the orange one plugs into the guage cluster and the black one plugs into another harness that would go to the senders in the engine bay (this harness obviously wouldn't be in your car).
My car didn't have the orange plug but it did have the oil temp sender!?! Yours probably doesn't have the oil pressure sender, but check for the temp sender!

The orange one definetely does not plug into the gauges...
i have gauges from a coupe quattro, so the sender connector may be different. this orange plug goes into my dash... very deep into my dash... i can't find the end of it, my arm is not long enough.
