hey all - could anyone show me the whereabouts for the commonrail sensor on my engine? Just interested in the possibility of a remap / tunit - I believe these attach to the commonrail sensor.

I attach a reference pic

The plug you are looking for is located under the plastic cover in front of the motor. Its a simple job to instal a "powerbox".

Hi - I took the cover off this weekend - there are two identical plugs, one in the centre, and one at an angle on the left - any idea which one is the correct one? I presume it's the centre one!
