November 12, 20187 yr 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.
November 12, 20187 yr 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
November 12, 20187 yr Author 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
November 12, 20187 yr 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?
November 14, 20187 yr Think only the turbo models had this u channel shaped heat shield along the bottom where exhaust pipe was just a bit below
