That is a temperature sensor in the elbow for the coolant line. It was 'obsoleted' with the thermostat housing update which used new temperature sensors.

You can eliminate that elbow/sensor with this updated coolant hose.

My 2013 Clubman Cooper S threw code P0171, which is a lean warning.  While checking things out, I found the duct from MAF to the turbo was cracked.  I ordered a new one.  But when I removed the duct, I found a 2-pin connector underneath, with nothing connected to it.  It looks too clean for me to think that "empty" is its natural state.  I cannot find a connector "hanging" around.

I am trying to add a picture, but not having any luck, so here is a link:

Any ideas?
