Its a speed sensor for the ECU so it knows when you are coasting/idling etc so it can adjust the fuelling for emissions/economy.

The digi dash speed sensor goes in on top of this replacing the mechnical speedo drive. The ecu sensor doesn't output the right number of pulses for the dash.

It may bring the light on, but you might find it just stalls at junctions like Corsa's do when it's not connected lol

Unscrew original speed cable, pop in digi dash speed sensor. Job done :thumb:
