The green one is your oil pressure sensor.

Would be nice if you told us which engine it is. Since I don't see a spot for a knock
sensor, and you say it's a D16, I guess it's a D16Z6 (or whatever they call it in
Germany).

And jbpnoman is right, the green sensor is the oil pressure switch.

And the other hole is not used IIRC, someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

pic of my Y8

My block has a plug in the 2nd slot in question. The Z6 in my car is the same way also.

Is that a d16y8? its sitting right up against the cylinder like its a hole for a knock sensor or somthing? :UPDATE:Yup its a knock sensor The D16y8 came with a knock sensor and a crank position sensor and the D16Z6 did not so Im assuming thats a D16Y8. but its not in the same location as yours on your block so im a little confused??

Pretty sure it's Z6 block. The OBD0 block actually has threads in the second hole for the fan switch. See this link for comparison

Same here, or the European equivalent.
