What is this part on my car?

[darrylg]

Can anyone identify what this part is on my Octavia VRS Mk 1  ?

I've taken the photo from underneath the car, it's located at the bottom of the engine bay just behind the radiator fans.

 

 

One of the mounts is broken...

I think its your second air intake pump? could be wrong!

[niceyellow vrs]

Pretty sure that's the Secondary Air intake pump (sai)

It certainly is the SAI. It can be removed if you want.

Yep the secondary air pump.

 

I have a good one if any one is interested.

Thanks for the info.

 

It's just the one bolt that seems to have broken.  Anyone know if that is supposed to be a bolt head, or a nut that sits above the mounting?

Or would I have to replace the whole thing?

 

Ta.

I think the bit that is broke is not threaded but  just a complete rubber mount that the other end has a threaded section that goes through the bracket to the other side where a nut is applied.

All the mounts on mine have broken and its held in place by its pipework

At £6.20 each mine can stay hanging there lol

I'm waiting to ditch mine, just can't believe a SAI blanking plate is £17!  :wonder:
