What's the plug thing on the side of the air box on an 8v 2.0? Searched but not finding much, anyone got a part number?
Not the MAF but the one actually connect to the right side of the airbox?

Problem I've got is mine is taped up from previous owner and have no clue what it is or what it does! Connect right to the side of the air box on the top half of the box

intake air sensor. (IAT), allows the ECU to compensate for the air temp in calculating fuel injection quantity, its has a small effect on the mixture.
You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Cheers Lee, nice searching! I've got a local VW spares up here, and also got VW heritage not far from me if VW do not sell it anymore. Thanks for the part number though! Really helpful :)

No probs.Went out and got it off my car this morning.The writing was so tiny but just managed to read it without a magnifying glass lol.That part no was for the connector that connects to the sensor itself not he sensor which is a different part no.Ecp do sell these I think and possibly gsf too.
