That's the low oil pressure sensor... the blue wire with the black boot that's dangling plugs into it.

Real cheap to replace, even if you have to buy it at a dealer, and the result of low oil pressure can be really expensive !!!

Just to be super clear, there are two oil pressure sensors (that look pretty much the same)... a "high pressure" one on the oil filter flange, and a "low pressure" one on the head.


You want the "low pressure" one.  And, they are slightly different depending on if yours is a turbo or not.  You want the turbo one.
