Help identifying missing pipe.

Post by EvilDmen » Wed Aug 06, 2014 6:16 pm

Hi guys,

As I took my battery box out to figure out how to secure it. (MOT failure) I found this:

What is it? And what should it connect to?

Cheers guys.
Lee.

I don't know, this is what I'm asking.
My power steering and speedo are working fine. So I'd think the VSS is fine.

It is on top of the gearbox, behind the reverse light switch.
It's an M2B4 I had swapped into my 5th Gen.

I'm fairly certain my gearbox is the same fwiw, I seem to remember thinking wtf is that when I was washing my engine.
