Mystery wire.....

[andyj]

Looking about in the engine bay last night, I spotted a mystery loose wire that wasn't connected to anything.....

It's a single black wire with a red female spade connector on the end.

It comes out of the loom just above the starter motor on the right hand side of the engine bay (looking towards the back of the car)

Anyone else with a 1.6 SX Cordy who can check it out for me ?!?

Bit difficult to check as everything is unplugged hehehe

Dunno if it helps but my 8v had the same thing in exactly the same place and still not connected. I assumed it was for an optional extra or something on a higher model.

my 16v has it too - it does nothing I guess.

It's for optional oil pressure gauge

You can/could buy a kit from SEAT (altho it was for LHD) that had oil pressure and voltmeter that wen't in the centre console

It came with a VDO dual oil pressure switch that replaced the standard switch and the spare wire is for that gauge

Cheers for the info Ben

so the oil pressure sensor is there, but not plugged in - or the wire is there, but no sensor?

 

[andyj]

i'm guessing wire & no sensor or gauge...

I think there is one there but only has one output, a replacement sensor with two outputs gets put in if you buy the pack.

wire is there but no sensor
