My son had £2000 of damage to his vrs due to vandalism in Leeds. He/we are only paying £600 for vital repairs and to make it safe. It has now been returned and he has come home. A part he left in the car and told the garage had come off from under the car is a black plastic protector. It looks like it may have held/protected some cables as there look to be channels/clips in it. Anyway, they didn't put it back on (it is a little damaged) and before I phone on Monday I would like to find out what it is so I can speak from a 'strength' position. If it hasn't been replaced with a new one, perhaps it's potentially dangerous.

The part number is: 6QO 201 469.

I've looked at the Fabia-vrs.com at the Handy Parts but can't see it - because it's not a common part.

If anyone can identity it that would be useful.

Sounds like just the engine cover - nothing that is necessary. I don't even have one on mine. Does it look a little like the below but with "TDI" on it?

Actually I think it probably isn't this now.

OK - I found the part and a picture. It is something to do with the fuel feed from/to the fuel tank under the car, probably covering the end of one side of the fuel cooler which is on the underside of the car, directly below the driver's seat.

Thanks for trying. It was from under the car when it was shoved by a large vehicle, deliberately and slowly over a high curb into a fence. The fuel pipes and fuel cooler had to be replaced. It is an irregular shape with length 17 cm. I will try to scan it and show a picture.

Please see post #4

Thanks, that's it - must have missed the post before. I've got the part scanned but I don't think I can directly attach an image to this forum.

EDIT: Looking at the schematic, perhaps when they replaced the fuel cooler they would have had to fit this as a new part. I must read posts more carefully, as you have said what it covers - trying to do too many things at once - well that's my excuse;)

Thanks again.
