Worth a try... it helps secure the warm air deflector plate to the intake manifold, 26B in the schematic.

I wondered where that fitted.
I have 26C and I'm sure I have a 26B lying around somewhere which I didn't know where it went.
I decided not to replace the manifold ducting because the car works absolutely fine without it (I recall reading a Rubjonny post). But appreciate mine isn't quite "factory".

recently, i found a "Female fixing grommet to accommodate the male clip that secures the protective door sill covers to the body." on heritage parts:


it looks somewhat similar to the part, which origin we where also going to sort out, i guess:

the sun came out and helped a little :-)




one square of this math-paper, on which i have place the part on, is half a centimeter.
some measures are: height 13 mm, disc-diameter 23.5 mm, bolt-diameter 15.5 mm.

but i can not find it on the car, either.

could anyone give me a hint ?

I think they go on the leading edge of the rear arches down by the sills. I think they were white from the factory. They are redundant on my car so they are filled with silicone. The arches on a gti also provide chip protection.
Ill take a look later, the arches are off at the moment.

Curiosity got the better of me, three each side filled with silicone (sorry about the rubbish picture).  Could they be the Heritage bungs?



Edit, had a thought, the rubber chewed up bungs with cavity wax in them; if that is what they are?  Reinforced cavity, can be used as a jacking point, on the floor pan next to the front sill jacking point.  That has bungs in it that get messed up by jacks.

thank you, but i guess they aren't it.

anyway, i'm able to literraly uncover the heritageparts part now.
it's all below the rockerpanel.

heritage gave us a little hint (fitting info).
they said this pin would go in those grommets:


i saw the pin when i levered off one side of the rockerpanel (after removing one or two screws).
one side goes into the grommet, the other in a clipping rail of the rocker panel.

now i have a guess about part, which i made a picture of.
it might be a blind for, for whatever reason, unused fixing holes.

they seem to be a little chewed up on the top, but the cavity wax hasn't peeled of.
i can not find any such bungs from below.

cause i already have a broken rockerpanel,
im a bit reluctant about ripping off the whole part just for looking,
but maybe there are some restoration pictures on here,
which may show possible locations. i will take a look.

i came across it while swapping the wing mirror (including case and arm).

the part goes from the outside into the hole for the top bolt
of the wing mirror holder.

as from wingmirror.net:


it seems to be a guide, but since there is a frame,
i do not exactly know, why it is necessary
and then why there is just one part, but 3 bolts.
it also does not stick well in the sheet metal hole.
