What is this??
#1
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

Think that plug's for the inlet air temp sensor?

Hunting and struggling to pull sounds like a broken MAP sensor though.

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)

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?

Throttle heater plug is yellow and is used on UK cars despite not really being needed in our mild climate.

Damn was hoping its be the problem, is a map sensor likely to go faulty all of a sudden?

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. Doh lol

Ph2 '6s aren't OBD compatible are they? And I guess you don't have PP2k?

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..
