    It sits directly behind the metal coolant pipe... all my sensors and bolts fit in, but I am lost what goes in there.

    Knock sensor fits in the one to the right,
    There's a plug with a single wire that goes there but not sure what it is!!
     
  9. oil pressure sensor?

    On dialogys it's a metal sleeve and cap, two separate parts?

    God knows what it is?! - I haven't got it in my box of removed parts.

    Do you have a picture from dialogys you can see?

    Sure its the one which sits behind the solid water pipe? Is this a block you have off the car?
     
  18. Sorry ignore that. Just looked on my block in my car and under the coolant pipe the hole has nothing in

    Mystery solved.

    Its a metal insert and core plug / cap that goes in the hole that runs into the oil gallery.
