any help appreciated

It's an egt sensor, basically lights up on your dash if your downpipe gets too hot, i wouldn't worry about it i just cut my wire off as the thing was corroded anyway.

It may cause the engine check light on some models but yours is early so id be surprised if it threw a cel.

And yes the turbo heatsink is fun. :D

Is the exhaust gas temp sensor also known as 'cat on fire', or is that a different sensor altogether?

Yes it is.

III thang'you :thumb:

cheers guys

so im assuming i can just unplug it then. i just dont fancy driving around with the engine check lit up. ill never be able to tell if a real problem occurs.
