These white plastic clips are no longer present on many Volkswagens, lost, broken or decomposed by the elements of nature. But they shouldn't be missing, as they hold fuel hoses, spark plug wires and vent hoses in place on various Volkswagen models.
On the VW Beetle and Karmann Ghia, two are used for the fuel tank vent hose on older models.
On the Volkswagen Bay Window Bus, they are used to fix the different fuel hoses and to fix the spark plug cables (provided your Volkswagen Bus is equipped with a Type 4 engine). Only for Type 4 engines with an L-Jetronic injection system you need four of them for the fuel hoses, for all other applications you will need two pieces.
On the Type 3 they are also used to fix the spark plug cables, here you will need three pieces if you have to replace them all.
