I know the white plastic box is a diagnostics plug that VW would hook up 
their diagnostic computer to check some of the engine stuff.  I believe it 
was only on the later FI models.  You can see reference to it in the wiring 
diagrams in the Haynes manuals (and other manuals I'm sure).

Don't know about the rest.  My rear defogger no longer works, either.  I 
haven't checked into the reason why in detail but I believe my problem is 
my relay under the back seat (sometimes if I thump it it will 'click' and 
the defogger will work).

Yesterday I was cleaning contacts and checking stuf in the engin
compartament and I need some help identifing stuff.

1. What is the white plastic box that is in the engine compartament, on
the driverside mounted on the rear wall.

2. I also found this disconected item: it is metal, round with what looks
like two small hose mounts and one electric conector. It is on the
driverside of the engin compartament, mounted on the bottom of the floor,
about widle of the engine compartament. ( x on the diagram )
