Which temperature sender in the head?  Do you mean the oil temp, or the coolant temp?  Oil temp is a green with black single wire that has a female spade connector on it.  Connects to the back of the head, a little thing that sticks out and kinda looks like a big pinhead.  
Coolant temperature is a WHITE harness connector on the side of the head by the distributor, kinda towards the front of the car.  If this was disconnected, though, the car should run like crap, as 16Vs are very dependent on this for running right.  You can't just run it to the cluster, as it splices into the knock system wiring.

Oh yeah, those little plastic terminals you describe are just test terminals, they're not supposed to be hooked up. 
A foot away from what?  The coolant reservoir?  The wires hooked up to the reservoir are for the low coolant warning, they don't read temperature.
Hope that helps!

<P>Does anyone know what wire goes onto the temperature sender that is in the head?<BR>I have an 87 16v Scirocco and the temperature gauge does not work and the reason being that the sender is not hooked to anything. Does anyones know what type of wire it is to be hooked to or if i could just run a new wire off it,but if i run a new wire where should i run it to? There are a couple of wires with plastic terminals that&nbsp;are not hooked to anything about a foot away from it toward the driver side of the car could one of them be it??? I have no idea what they are for. Can I run a wire off the sender right into the back of the gauge cluster. Any help would be great, cause the water pump went bad then it overheated, blew the head gasket, and warped the head beyond repair, had to get a head off a jetta in a junkyard, I have put $250 into fixin all this and I really dont care to overheat it ever again so I am not going to drive it until the gauge works! Thankx!<BR><BR></P></DIV>!
