• Wires and plug on turbo? by con on 28 Dec, 2006 07:40
• I was examining the engine bay and noticed two loose wires. They should be attached to a little white plug that appears to connect onto the turbo. Could anyone tell me what the purpose of the wires and plug is?
  I have taken a few photos to try and illustrate what I am referring to.
  Thanks.

• Thats the temperature switch for the electric coolant pump, it circulates coolant through the turbo after shutdown. Probably should be hooked up.

• con I'll have to check mine, but I don't think those wires are connected on my GTD.  I'll let you know once I've had a look.  
  I always let my GTD idle for a couple of minutes after a long run anyway just to let the oil circulate & cool a little.
  Cheers,
