Anyone know what this wire is supposed to connect to i have no idea....

I think it goes to your high pressure oil switch (0.9bar) just next to the oil pump, under the water pump

unless it's already connected

Thanks i'll check it out. Maybe this missing or not connected explains oil in the carb????

No it doesn't... sorry

thats down to the breather or over filled oil

I think you are on the right lines....with that rubber shroud and terminal it certainly looks like a sensor wire of some description.

are you having..or had recent problems with losing coolant ?

The radiator blew last summer due to the fan belt snapping and causing an air blockage so the system was emptied and refilled twice as the mechanic did not think to put antifreeze in the first time!

that is the oil sender wire, but unless im mistaken by the picture, its routed differently to normal.....

i hope it is off by mistake, and not by a previous owner trying to stop the BOD

BOD???

I still carn't see where this wire is supposed to connect to??? Can anyone help further? No help in Haynes either...

Thanks

if you can't see a sensor like the one that's between the push rod tubes then leave it off.
But it's there, just look harder... right next to the oil pump which has a cover on it with four hex head bolts

Get a haynes then!

Buzzer Of Doom......an audible warning of imminent engine death.



see it now?... little black thing to the left of the oil pump (plate with 4 bolts)

av a look at this -
if it is the oil high pressure switch -

the high pressure switch lives in a little hideaway next to the oil pump -
facing down - looking at the front of the engine -
you can just see the blade on top of the switch sticking out on the photo -



this is the switch itself - screws in -



hope this helps -

not all dg's have the sender, if its not there, dont worry about it.
it maybe a early casing.....
