Not certain, but could be a crank sensor cable ??

Not unknown to simply chop the ends of the original cable when replacing the crank sensor as the routing is not "easy" and the suggested "new" routing in the guide is far cooler for the wire.

It could indeed. I agree, that is here the original crank sensor cable would have gone, bundled with the oil pipes. The car is fitted with a replacement crank sensor, with the cable coming up attached to the brake pipes to the ABS unit. Phew! That's a relief. So I can ignore it. Many thanks.

I changed a DISpack on my Opel 2.5 a year ago. My photo show the case split in the same place (end opposite to the connector) as that in message 27. The example in the maintenance guide is also split in the same place.
That is beneath the join in the scuttle. I reckon the cause is water dripping on to the coil pack there, causing shorting of sparks, cracking the casing, then getting inside and allowing rusting, bursting the case, and failure. Moral is, always reseal the join after disturbing the scuttle.
