    Unknown connector at the back of 525i engine

    Lockstock27 posted a topic in BMW 5 Series Forum
    First time posting Hi! 😁 Just bought a 2001 525i with the 2.5 litre straight 6 engine. Needed the crankcase ventilation system replacing... someone had completely bypassed it off to a catch can and the poor custom pipework was causing leaks everywhere! Anyway... all back to stock now with the new insulated CCV and pipes. When I was in the process of disconnecting everything and came to remove the throttle body i notice a connector hanging loose to the right... further around the back of the engine and looks as though the wire is clipped up/fastened. I believe it's where the EGR is on some of the BMW engines? Used a mirror try and look further behind for any sockets missing connector but cant see anything? Ive attached an image - Please can someone advise? Makes me nervous having a connection just hanging there with nothing to plug into Thank you!
