As someone pointed out ages ago, I have a shiney silver screw holding the cover on the airbox down. I *think* this may of been the cause of my latest rattle, as it was poking up in the air!

Its not exactly a snug fit! Anyone got any idea what type of screw they are so i can grab some more?

Just black self tappers I think. About 1/2" long, course thread.

Bloody hell that was quick matey!

Any idea on thread size?

Been up all night Not sure how self tapper thread size is quoted to be honest. Will have a look at Skoda Manual and be back shortly.

Edit: No size quoted mate.

self tapper size is denoted by the width of the head of the screw, sooo im guesing about 6-8mm

it is a course "thread" maybe a bit longer than 1/2 inch though, scrappies will be your best bet, as i suspect the only way to get them from the dealer would be via buying an airbox

Have removed the dodgy screw and is cable tied for the time being

Having a full service on friday, I assume they'll need to get into it to change a filter? Will mention to them that theres a screw missing, hopefully they'll have something suitable if not will source one on sat
