    Seems like that wire breaking is pretty common.

    But the capacitor itself is not really necessary. Most 1.8T's do not have them as far as I have ever seen. Is yours a 2001.5?

    Mine is a 2001. I'm just going to replace it with a generic capacitor if I can't salvage mine. There is like 1mm of copper I can solder to. it's going to break again eventually unless I add ton of strain relief and potting.

    Good Luck. Are you noticing a problem with it removed? I'd just delete it if it were mine.

    I know the 30v's have these, I wasn't aware the 1.8s had them though. The 40v V8 has 2 of them, and they are bolted to the fuel rail. It is my understanding that they are used to help suppress radio noise/interference.

    yea all that capacitor does is help with radio noise. not a big deal to not have it, and honestly, i'm sure you wont even notice it.
