What is the plastic plug for?
What are the arcs cast into the metal for?
And what is the opening cast into the metal (circled) for?

as noted above holes and ribs are for coil mounting strap.
that is the position for mounting the coil on all VW models that used the engine.
74 on 914 1.8s used this standard VW mounting.
not sure about 2.0s


arcs in the fan casting are a symbol to indicate which way to point the coil.
all visible on a rear engine VW and makes sense.
