gearbox??
« on: 17 April 2007, 14:21 »
Looking round my engine bay on the mk2 i realised there's a sensor hanging off and i can only see one place where its come from, which looks to be on the top of the gearbox, any idea what it is or for?

this little bugger right here, i can only think the plugs come off of that point as it wont reach anywhere else, but i still have no idea what it's for.
