Bear in mind it's an open ended connector plug so where the wires go into the back end will be a hole. Best fill it with silicone to keep water out.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

Yeah this was my plan. Either silicone or Araldite  :happy2:

Just want to say thanks to Doylebros and Viking for helping identify a suitable plug. Collected it today but found it needed to be modded slightly.

This is the EGR plug. You can see the top right hand corner is squared off.



And this is the plug as it came.



So cut a piece out to allow it to fit plus shortened it and removed the lugs.





Sealed with silicone.



Thanks again  :drinking:
