Default Anyone know what this is?

I was changing my o2 sensors and found this underneath my 96’ C4 when I was finished. I couldn’t find where or if it came from my C4. I’m not receiving any faults. Anyone have an idea?

thanks

Do you own a Land Rover?

Because I did an image search for that and it came back as a speed sensor for a Land Rover.

Is that the moisture drain boot from the bottom of your starter? It would make sense it came off the starter while changing O2 sensors....

Thanks! No problem! Give the metal tangs a little more bend towards 90° so it fits nice and tight again👍

If the tab(s) are busted you can buy the drain tube separately. The source I was quite familiar with doesn't seem to have it any longer but I'm sure there are vendors out there.

**** I found it for as little as $1.20 but who knows what their minimum sale is or what shipping might be. Maybe you consider doing a solenoid tune up and adding the vent to the purchase.
