2.1 Waterboxer.....What is this sensor?????
I have recently dismantled my 2.1 waterboxer engine & found some type of sensor at the rear of the motor that was not connected to anything. The
lead from the sensor was just sitting on top of the cylinder head. (out of a 5 speed manual transporter)
Now have purchased a second hand engine to replace my cactus engine & have found that it doesnt have this sensor at all, but it does have the
hole in the crancase flange where it is supossed to go. (out of auto caravelle)
Question is what is the sensor for, do i need it, & if I need it what does it hook up to?
Thanks Guys.

was this only required on some models? Engine has been running fine without it. Or is it some thing that gives trouble so people are able to do away
with them somehow?
Cheers
