I have a 1986 300E. When I bought it, the hose which feeds the filter box was badly mangled. I finally got around to replacing it and I notice that the new hose has a slot in it to put an air temp or flow sensor into. The problem is, I can find no wires or connectors which would plug into this slot. Did the 1986 300E have one of these sensors? I suppose it's possible that I was sold an intake hose which was meant for a later model with the sensor.

Thanks,

1986 300E don't have air intake temp sensor
you should find a plug to cover the hole....
ask dealer to find one for you.

If you don't have the plug, don't worry. The hole is down stream of the air filter and won't hurt anything.
