Craigar Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Man I feel stupid, and I even took a couple of (crappy night) pictures of this prior to disassembly but maybe already removed the wiring - or vacuum hose, - IF there was actually anything in the plastic "mount" > i also see a locking twist "tie down" down by the bottom of the dipstick tube that has, which seems obvious that it must be for oil pressure wire. I also thought/think this one here might be but it looks like it's for 1/4 inch whatever - and the oil pressure wire is only 1/8" so it will "fall out". Here'se holding the oil pressure wire in it (crappy night) picture of this prior to disassembly - of course view of clamp is blocked by other wiring seems like it must be important, took a lot of work to make the tooling to produce the metal mount.

el_freddo Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I reckon someone’s added this bracket in there. I don’t recall this bracket on any of my EA82s - but it’s been a while since I’ve played with any of them now... Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigar Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think its original/stock cause its stamped from a punch "die" and fits perfectly over the dipstick tube's plate that goes under this bolt. I'm thinking maybe a version of Loyale has real oil pressure GAUGE sensor which might have a PAIR of wires - I only have an on/off "idiot" light on the dash with a single wire going to this sensor (down by the oil pump). Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 That thing is a clip that holds a plastic shield in place. The bottom of the plastic thing had a part that fit in the clip, and the top had a clip that went over the approximately 1" hose up on the front of the throttle body.

Do you have - OR ANYBODY? have an image of this shield , and is it important? Speaking of "shields and covers" I'm missing my "bottom center piece of timing cover according to FSM & Haynes manual exploded drawing - there is at least 1 bolt hole in the bottom of the oil pump housing for it from what I can see, here's image from underneath & arrow pointing to bolt hole. Seems like it would be good to protect this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Think only the turbo models had this u channel shaped heat shield along the bottom where exhaust pipe was just a bit below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I never saw anything in that area on the several I have owned. No turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
