Mystery part for VW Golf Mk1 Rabbit (Cabriolet) engine

Post

Hi, my brother is restoring an Mk1 Golf Cabriolet (Rabbit) in the US.

He has a two-pin plug that he doesn't quite know where it goes – but found another Mk1 Golf that has that plug connected to what looks like a circular part (valve?).  I've attached a photo below.  Can anyone tell me what this is?

Thank you!

Upshift switch for the upshift light in the center top of your clocks that I have known, but the UK may have used it for the MFA.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Thank you!!  That makes sense – so the 2-pin connector must then go to the upshift light on the instrument panel then.

It is a vacuum operated switch.
