Hi All,

I am missing this cover below, does anyone have a part number? also if anyone has a spare that would be great  :innocent:

Also Is it safe to drive it around like this?

Hiya mate. I bought mine with it missing, didn't realise at the time   :confused: I have tried sourcing 1, but had no joy. Probably going to get an intake now anyway. Can't see it being dangerous, probably affecting the performance

I'll take mine off at lunch to check the part number if no one else gets back to you before hand

It's just a part of the intake, it's fine to drive without.
It may slightly effect performance but not by much I would imagine.

I've run without that part for ages mate, no drop in power... I removed it because it wouldn't sit properly and didn't want it destroying itself in the rad fans.  I'm not usually a big fan of CAI's, although I've had two on the GTI, but anything to get rid of the standard bloody airbox arrangement, which is a pain to remove a pain to fit, and if not on absolutely perfectly can pull thetop of the oil filler cap off; as well as straining other areas of the induction, like you've shown.

They do, question is, do we want to replace it knowing where it dissappears into:
