Default misterious black box behind passenger side fog light





Hi everyone

unfortunately this morning I hit a metal bar on the highway on the way to work.

I got a 50% broken passenger side fog light and some bumps and scratches on the front lower right bumper.

Luckily I can fix the fog light plastic screw supports, but I need your help to find out what is a black box behind the passenger side fog light.....

This unknown black plastic box has a little hose attached to it which goes upward somewhere, but I also see a pink little hose with a whyte connector that I honestly have no clue where it links-attaches to.

My baby is a CDI 220 W203 european model...year 2003.

Can anybody help me out to discover what the black box and this pink hose are for ???

Thanks a lot in advance to everyone

Please... I need your help if you can ...........

Drive Safely

Default ...got some pictures... please help

Hi guys...

Here are the pictures of the "airplain" black box

There is another hose (pink) which is not in the picture and I have no clue what it is for and where it goes....

On top of this..... this morning my baby decided not to let me drive over 2000 RPM.

Last night it was working fine and this morning ....

Can it be the "magic box" ???

Any idea is welcome.....(even the airplaine one)

Thanks again

IF this part was near the fog light on the passenger side it is probably the out door temp sensor. If you look near the light from in front of the car there is a hole through the grill surrounding the fod light in the grill is a small hole if this unit was located there odds are good that it is the temp probe.
