Can anybody tell me what this is please
« on: July 31, 2011, 06:21:11 pm »
Hi guys! Quick question, during cleaning my edition 30 yesterday, I went to reverse the car backwards and drove over a what looks like a metal clip or hook of somekind. It's definatly off the car as there was nothing on the drive before I cleaned the car. Any ideas... please?

Is it to hold the brake hose?

Check them on the rear.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Handbrake cable holder maybe.  Don't take notice of them much to be fully sure.  Looks rustier than usual.

That looks like a handbrake cable support.
Have a look under the rear, you should see them if they're still attached.
