Sorry for the bonehead question and no pic but on my turbo, between the MAF and turbo, about 4" before the turbo there's a fitting on the end for the hose coming from the crank breather (oil separator) and also has a vacumn elbow fitting on one side and an electrical connector on the other. It's a resistor of some sort but I'm getting tired of describing it as the "thing the breather hose and vacumn line plug into with an electrical connector on one side."

What is it?

My old '88 745t just has a simple fitting for the breather hose. No electronics or vacumn there.

Thanks,

I asked the same question a while back...best response I got back was that it was a heater circuit, did't know the name though. Seems that a temp sensor would be more likely...the I can't see the crankcase fumes needing to be heated - should be kind of warm already. What I want to know is how to function test the thing...was told by a shop I don't completely trust that it was hooped but want to be able to check it myself

It's a "heated nipple".? Got that from the ALLDATA DYI site. I've had to work on that part recently. Test it by hooking alligator clamps direct from the battery.
Be Careful!!,also make sure the vaccum port and pcv port are clear,as they can
cause excessive internal engine pressure.
