Re: EGT probe
Not quite - it's a probe to detect if the Catalyst is overheating...
It's not an EGT sensor

Re: EGT probe
yep - it turns on the CAT temp warning light (orange light of a pipe with wavy line above it)
But if you car's working OK then I suppose you won't have seen it.
Overheating CATS can often be caused by the engine passing oil and bunging it up(apparently), massively reducing it's ability to reduce emissions.
(I've been reading a book on engine management, and thought I'd share this)
