Missing part from my engine bay....
« on: February 25, 2012, 03:49:36 pm »
Can anyone help me? I'm missing a part from the front of my air intake. However, I don't know what it is or what it looks like! If anyone can look at these pics and tell me what it is ( part numbers would be helpful!) or even better if anyone has this part kicking about I would greatly appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.  :happy2:

Wow, I'd be very surprised if that isn't effecting performance.

Just had exactly the same happen to me after a service! I heard it 'ping' off whilst driving then it must've got lodged in the fan for a bit and now I suspect it resides in the plastic undertray underneath the car. You'll probably find yours in the same place rattling around somewhere!

Very common for this to fall off if not fitted 100% correct. Get a carbonio, then you'll have zero parts falling off again

That's happened to mine too. Got the front part  that you're missing from the dealers and it clicks back into place. Pretty cheap part - think it was about a tender.

Thanks but does anyone know the part number for this? Also will this be affecting performance?

Performance will be little affected.

Scroll down to item 3 on this page and you'll see the part number on the piece itself.

IIRC some gti's have this missing as standard, sure I read this somewhere on here??? I even think some people have removed them to improve air flow.
