What is the sensor on the intake/MAF hose at the end of the engine breather pipe ?
And will it effect the running of the engine if it is unplugged ?
Thanks

Re: Sensor question
It is a heater element. To prevent formation of ice in the winter from condensed water vapour from the breather. You can imagine what would happen if a piece of ice falls into the turbo.

Then it is useless for me, as I live in Malta. Odds are water vapour would turn into steam rather then condense It's already 27 degrees celcius here
