not sure as I don't have it on mine but I would say something SAI related?

Either way it should probably be connected...

should have a connector on there, if its had an MOT with that missing and it was for the SAI then it would of failed, i'll have a look at mine as that looks like an AUM engine. If you have a look at Cully's engine hes replaced all the corrigated piping with blue which could mean a nice chance to smarten up the pipe work   :wink:

Its the pipes that run to the SAI. I assume the pumps been removed, but the solenoid on the engine block is still there as you can see it in the picture. just remove all the pipe work, remove the SAI solenoid off the side of the engine block and blank it off, and if you can and it's not been done already remove the SAI pump of the engine block. You will then either need to get the SAI coded.
