Cooling fan belt broke. Knocked the top cover off this part. What is it? I want to create a replacement cover for it, but may just replace the entire part. But what is it?

Looks like an atmospheric pressure sensor

Put your chassis number in here and search for the part probably under fuel preparation.

I am thinking part ten here but you need to check against your own chassis number to be sure

Yes, the base and bracket look similar, but I am not 100% certain. I like the website a lot! Very useful! In the morning I am going to get a look at the underside of it. Hopefully the electronic fitting will confirm. Thank you for your help!
