"Whats This" Plastic bag ?

[Kirkie]

Since I bought my Superb Greenline 1.6 Tdi  in December /15 and have not had a chance to have a proper look under the bonnet until yesterday except to fill the screen wash and dip the oil.

Anyway, I noticed that there is a black plastic bag tucked under the top of the O/S inner wing near the fuel filter.

It seems to have some foam in it. I have not taken it out and will call in the Skoda dealers and ask them...

Does anyone know if its supposed to be there ? or if so.. What for ?.. I have had a look at the N/S inner wing and there is none there.

The car is a 64 reg. (Feb2015) and was previously owned by Skoda head office in Oxford. Its done 4000 miles.

Probably sound deadening.

 

Or if it's anything like my car, bearing in mind that plastic bags are now worth 5p each, it's there to double the value of the vehicle.

Can you post a picture to show it?

Drugs ?

Money ?

I would agree that it is most likely some additional sound proofing.  These things are often picked up post production and that is how they deal with it.  I had something similar on previous cars and I'm pretty sure there is some under the bonnet on my current one too (in the location that the OP pointed out).

Thank you for pointing this out.. I was not around when this was originally posted.... It must be there for a reason.

Had a look but nothing in either of my front wings. Both totally empty and can see the inside of the archliner etc.....
