What is this?? - rocker8742 - 28-09-2014
What is this plug for? Behind the inlet/throttle body on the 6
2 pin black plug anyone know?

Orrrr any sensors that would fail suddenly and leave a gti struggling to pull and hunting at idle
Already checked the lambda and its not that
RE: What is this?? - Janne L - 28-09-2014
Icv? Under the throttle body.
What is this?? - rocker8742 - 28-09-2014
Checked the icv mate its not that afaik
RE: What is this?? - Toms306 - 29-09-2014
Think that plug's for the inlet air temp sensor?
Hunting and struggling to pull sounds like a broken MAP sensor though.
Re: What is this?? - kentiiboii - 29-09-2014
Its a free plug mate! Pretty sure mine has it!
RE: What is this?? - powerandtorque - 29-09-2014
As above, the black 2-pin plug is unused on UK cars.
(for reference of the above posters, on a GTi-6 the IAT plug is grey and the ICV is a black 4 pin ovalish connector and not a JPT like shown)
RE: What is this?? - Eeyore - 29-09-2014
This question comes up time and time again.... i may be stupidly wrong but wasnt it something like a throttlebody heater for colder climates or something?
RE: What is this?? - powerandtorque - 29-09-2014
Throttle heater plug is yellow and is used on UK cars despite not really being needed in our mild climate.
RE: What is this?? - Eeyore - 29-09-2014
oh thatll be what i was thinking of then!
What is this?? - rocker8742 - 29-09-2014
Damn was hoping its be the problem, is a map sensor likely to go faulty all of a sudden?
RE: What is this?? - powerandtorque - 29-09-2014
They can do, as can ignition coils - both common on '6 engines.

Any idea what it's used for on the non-UK models? Something to do with cruise control maybe? Just intrigued now lol.

Can do yeah. One failed on SRowells 1.8 without warning...at the time we went to the scrappy to get a load of spare sensors to try...all except a MAP sensor.
Ph2 '6s aren't OBD compatible are they? And I guess you don't have PP2k?
What is this?? - rocker8742 - 29-09-2014
No haven't got any diagnostics stuff .
Got a spare map sensor which il try tonight , fingers crossed .
RE: What is this?? - Eeyore - 29-09-2014
so they have a plug but they cant be read by most readers. think its only peugeot plane that will do the job.
RE: What is this?? - Toms306 - 29-09-2014
Yeah didn't think they would be. They didn't need to be OBD compatible until 2001. So it is only Pug Planet you'd be able to check with unfortunately.
Might as well try the MAP as you've already got it spare though!

Swapped the map sensor over and it appears to have fixed the issue, odd that it went all of a sudden thoug

the weather became considerably colder over the last few days mate, so possibly that had an effect on the vehicle, and this wasnt a noticable issue prior to that.. but now is..

Yeah my car is being a right bitch since the temperature has dropped 10 degrees.
RE: What is this?? - toseland - 09-10-2014
which one? the decent one or that shitty Faillye
RE: What is this?? - cully - 09-10-2014
Tom i have planet here if you needed to plug it in to have a view at whats being read by the sensors
RE: What is this?? - ConorTRG - 09-10-2014
Just for future ref, you dont need pug planet for ph2's, my delphi system reads them fine.
