Please help me ID this connector

I’ve searched the forum, consulted the Bentley book, and even looked through the 600+ page parts catalog. I’m at a loss. What is this three-pin test port thing just below the ICV and what does it do? Thanks for your help!

This is a plug for Porsche factory diagnostics..it will never ever be used again.....All you are missing is a little rubber plug.
Not to worry about in the future;-)

That is a diagnostic port for crank sensor, VW used them also I am not sure what equipment was used but it goes to a sensor near the flywheel.

Thanks for the quick responses!

Anyone know of a part number for the plug? I always thought the three pins were unsightly.

I’ve looked. I can’t find it anywhere. If someone has the number for the plug or dust cover / cap, I’d appreciate it.

I think the cap comes with the plug 911-606-108-00.

Here’s everything I’ve learned since the beginning of this thread. Thanks to everyone who has helped educate me on this unusual part.

1. The visible three-prong port is the tail end of part # 911.606.108.00 aka “timing mark sender.”
2. It’s an essentially-unused diagnostic port.
3. Replacing a broken-off dust cap requires replacing the entire sensor, as it is sold as a single piece only.
4. A 7/16” black nylon cap from Lowe’s costs $1.15 for two and fits perfectly.

Not original. I’ll give you $5k for the whole car.

Nice fix. Looks perfect!
