Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #451 – February 18, 2022, 07:31:46 PM yes, it seems to be cavity wax and half of the tip is hollow.do i need to make more pictures ?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #452 – February 19, 2022, 04:48:58 AM I would say a very clear picture with a tape measure along side to get an idea of the size is needed. I think I know what it is but I've never seen one like that on my car. I have blanking grommets with cavity wax in them but not from inside the car. Hopefully somebody how has done a full strip down will recognise it.

Re: Test your knowledge!

Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #457 – February 24, 2022, 03:54:04 AM it can be found in the surrounding of the wheelhouse.i removed it while preparing a welding job in it.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #458 – February 24, 2022, 03:57:09 AM not a slider, the thing is a round, hollow tube, open on one side.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #459 – February 24, 2022, 08:02:02 AM Is it the bung you put in the bumper guide to hold it on?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #460 – February 24, 2022, 09:50:53 PM @Monkey not quite: similar design, but black, edgy tip and wider, i guess.i found it residing in the corner of the cavity on the right from this vertical groveand pointing, with the round, closed tip, to its edge (picture from @Eddypeck 's thread):could it have been for aligning the sheets, before the welding robot fixated them(but there were no burning signs on the part) ? other possibilities ?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #461 – February 25, 2022, 04:08:16 PM I see what is going on, @mk24ever you are supposed to know what the part is. You post a picture as a challenge to us. We guess, you post clues, somebody identifies the part or you advise what it is. Let’s see if we can identify your part though, there is a chance that it is not a MK2 part. Could you post a picture of the open end please?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #462 – February 26, 2022, 08:49:01 AM When I first saw it it looked like a plastic wall plug I'd have rattling round the footwell after doing some DIY at my Mum's 😁Not sure I've ever unearthed one of those on my car.Could it be a drain tube?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #463 – February 26, 2022, 01:15:13 PM @AndyBa i also thought about draining, but with the closed end..@PWardy you are right and more so with the previous two items.thank you for helping and explaining.sorry to everybody for abusing the tread, but as suggested, i'll finish this up.there comes the pictures(i used my radio support spigot as cap support):

Can't imagine how it got inside the wheel arch though. 1 Likes
