Thanks so much for the photos. Unfortunately for me, the whole thing is gone on my car. Here is a photo of my car. What part would I need for this and would it just be as simple as unscrewing what is there right now and screwing in the new one?

Also, how will not having this sensor affect my car?

Thanks,
David

Without it, your emissions control function will not be working. No real effect if your vacuum lines are sealed. So it will be to your advantage to delete the EGR, ARV and a related vacuum you were inquiring about earlier ( point of reference. 1985 300D vacuum crazyness.)
