Hi
I recently bought a 2007 panda multijet. On looking at the oil filler cap I noticed a wire had been unplugged from somewhere and twisted around the oil filler tube.
The wire splits from a main loom on the offside and has rectangular shaped plug on the end.

I have shown a link which may help. It's the cable in bottom left that splits from a curved main loom and disappears below the oil filler cap.
My thoughts are that the seller has disconnected it to cancel out a warning light. I mean the vehicle drives well but it could be causing damage to the engine over time. (I once had a vw lupo and I disconnected the EGR to stop the car cutting out. It worked but the engine over years got cooked and the piston rings etc and valve seals wore.) I don't want this to happen to my new multijet.
Does anyone know where the wire is meant to plug into? I thought at first it was for the EGR but the EGR is on the other side of the engine on the near side.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
