Van has been running a bit rough so I thought I'd try cleaning the EGR valve.
The valve itself had been stuck back on with some silicone sealant and the gasket was in quite poor condition.
The previous owner has done some terrible things to this poor van and I keep finding new ones.
While taking the EGR off I spotted some electrical tape around a connector or sensor of some sort and this set off alarm bells.
This is where the 'sensor' (or whatever it is) is located.
and this is what was under the electrical tape :blast
I've no idea what this is, or where the other end of the lead goes. What I do know is that it needs replacing rather than covering over with sticky tape.
Any clues as to what the thing might be?
How do you even break something like that? Hoping I can order it tomorrow along with a new EGR gasket.
