   Right put the ph2 vts engine in today, nearly done, only thing is my old engine has a small blue sensor on the sump an the new motor doesn't? What do I do? It is a three plug engine goin into a single plug car, I've swopped over the other sensors but am unsure what to do with this one? Any advice appreciated!! Cheers

   It's the Sensor which shows your oil temperature on your dials
