300tdi Head - What's this?

[John T]

Can anyone tell me what the sender is for on the top of a 300tdi head, the one that is half way down the right hand side as you look from the front - is it the temp gauge sender? I need to know, as I've just broken it off.......... :oops:  :oops:

i think the temp sender is the one at the front by the thermostat housing, though i stand corrected.I do know which one you mean but not too sure,sorry..

Is it for the EGR system?

[Disco Geordie]

I was informed but may be wrong thats it's a water temp sensor

Water temp sensor if it's this one -

on a 300tdi No 21 of the above is the temp sensor for making the EGR work

That's why mine's not connected to anything then  \:D/  :lol:

That's it #21 - Thanks  :D

Does that mean if I don't re-connect it, it's same as fitting a blanking plate :?

no,the EGR "could" be stuck in the middle,not reffiting this is the same as pulling the plug of the egr module,fitting a blanking plate & pulling the plug is a better option
