On cars with an autobox the inj pump is electronically controlled - the plugs are likely to be for that.

Not all autos are electronically controlled...and I am sure I can see a normal mechanical throttle cable in the pics. There is no sign of a throttle postion sensor for the EGR, so it could be the left over wire for that..although why someone would remove the position sensor I don't know.

Some later 300TDIs had some extra wires to the fuel stop solonoid, something to do with the immobiliser

Yeah its a cable throttle with a manual box. I have done no messing with it and imobiliser is all working ok touch wood!

I obviously didn't make myself clear. This is a 1998 car, in '98 autobox cars were EDC, so these plugs were used for that. I wasn't implying that THIS car was auto, merely that the loom in place was sufficient for autos as well.

Incidently, on EDC cars there was no EGR valve electric connector.

looks like the EGR valve connector to me
