#2If you have one lambda sensor, the nyou just screw it into the manifold, and all is well.
If you have 2 lambda sensors, then you need to plug the one nearest the engine into the manifold, and the one after the cat is just left out,but might want to secure it somewhere with some sort of metal cover over the end.
I would guess yours would have 1 as it's a mk1 - but not 100% -

#4hmm this could be the reason my engine light has been on for months, bought my mk2 with a standard mk1 zorst setup. only 1 lambda socket and the other is cable tied up with no sleeve?!?!
if i got a cover would this possibley solve the engine light? -

The first should be in the exzorst, with the 2nd reading clean air (sleeved). -
