Anyone know what this is?

 

Found it covered up with duct tape.

 

Here's the list of floor plugs, although deciphering it is a bit of a challenge!

 

From position yours looks like a type 41 bung but that's an estimate only.

 

Also, given the tube extending from the face of your bung was it for a cable pass-through?  Or was it perhaps to replace a blind bung and the only one handy for the replacer?

 

 

Looks like the thing that is missing but normally has a round flat disc clipped to it that looks temptingly like a trolley jack lifting point.

 

From the damage to it and the plastic covering to the chassis rail beside I would say that whoever has worked on the car is visually challenged like I am.

 

I have no idea of the function or purpose of said plastic assembly (which can be rotated) other than to trap the unwary.

It’s for a under tray/guard/trim piece, I have one broken like yours and one fairly complete iirc, not sure on it’s function either.

It's probably the A/C evaporator condensate drain,

Its completely inert and pointless as far as I can see and I have given both of them close scrutiny, one each side so unlikely to be the drain.

Unbroken it's a top hat shape where the 'brim' seems to act as some sort of retainer for the small removable jacking poit cover and the main undertray.

 

Someone has probably tried using it as a jacking point and broken it.

Looking a the photo the under tray is all cracked and there's a circular hole in the under tray. There should be a jacking point ( Plastic bung top hat shaped ) going through the under tray and then into the plastic tube where the Duck tape is. Looks like its been damaged whilst jacking the car up

Is it really a jacking point as Auric proposes or covering a jacking point as Me 109 states?

 

I ask because it definitely will not support the weight of the corner on a trolley jack without breaking and what is underneath is not large enough for the crutch of a trolley jack.

 

For the former it could be that the rubber support pad of a vehicle lift (which will always be level as will the car) may support the weight on the plastic.

 

For the latter could it be for either a spigotted adaptor either for a vehicle lift or perhaps for a chassis alignment jig?

 

Jacking up my MK2 Octavia and finding somewhere else to put the axle stands has always been a royal PITA, I have now resorted to buying a second trolley jack, large diameter solid rubber pads for both (like on a vehicle lift) and making sill lipadaptors for my axle stands. At least now its like Theresa May, strong & stable & no more teetering on the point of the opposite stand falling over when jacking.

It's 100% not a jacking point, flashed a torch up in the hole - looks like some sort of tank (A/C evaporator condensate drain) ??

 Anyone please can recognise this plastic where they come from ? I am finding them on the carpet of the driver side 3 all ready same place i think from the steering wheel like some kind of spacers etc . Car is skoda octavia vrs tdi mk2
