I had to replace my PNH000020 Intercooler to Manifold hose today, as it had a large split in it,
I have a 2003 Td4 and I have come across something strange,,

I have this engine without the bling and as it seems without the sensor???



I took this off today to replace the hose, standing by was my son with a hacksaw to cut the new pipe to make a space for the small pipe with sensor,, when we saw these parts..



I believe the sensor is an Intake temperature sensor, obviously for the air, I would like to know if its missing or not supposed to be there as I am not entirely sure,
what will be the consequences of not having one??
and is it an easy part to refit if needed??

I take it I would need a new sensor and pipework (mind you I could cut the plumbers pipe I have to install it)
My concern is the other end, a if it was fitted at one point I cant see any wires hanging around..

I will be looking for it harder when I do the EGR replacement at the weekend, does anyone have a picture of where the other end should be coming from??

Why would someone remove it in the first place???

Thanks in advance for your help and guidance..

You might get more answers if you post in the main Freelander section.
I doubt if you have a problem, the "missing" sensor was only fitted to later TD4s. I'm not sure when they started to fit them, but I expect yours never had one.

Thanks very much for your reply,
