my machinist tapped those holes and installed threaded plugs with sealer. of course you have to make sure you dont install them too far and block oil holes that are close to the end of the gallery.
just in case you cant get those press in plugs to seal...

For the rear cam seal, use anaerobic sealer instead of RTV. Pop just that cam cap off, clean the surfaces real well with brakecleaner and a new razorblade. Put a small line of sealer(1/16" diameter or so) on the head surface where the cam cap installs so that oil won't leak out between the two. Put the sealer around the outside surface of the seal. Install the seal so that the outside edge of the seal is even with the chamfer of the hole and put the cam cap back on.

Holy cow I never realized how many wire nuts he used!! LOL I LOVE the golf-T!!
BTW, you never said what was different from the 2003 photo you posted. I'm curious!

By the way, this is pretty much exactly what she looked like under the Hood when I got her. I tried to find my first pics I took when I got her back in 2003, but I couldn't find any engine pics. But I think the only thing different in this pics is a new coil and the alt.
Not much different, but bonus points to whoever can spot what is different...
Before messing with anything under the Hood I took some pics back in '07-'08, to help remember the wiring and stuff. In looking at them I recognized a wire that is now disconnected for one of the boost solenoids, so I'll get that corrected. Having some good pics is vital with something like this!
