Morning, was battling through Storm Christoph last night and had to get through some standing water.  It wasn't massively deep, but as I drove through there was a loud clunk and a couple of hundred metres further on the sound of something dragging on the road.  Stopped to have a look, and the part shown in the photos was hanging down.  Pushed it back in position and carried on home, about another hour of driving.  Kept a close eye on warning lights, engine temp etc. but nothing came up.

 

Couple of questions:

1. What is it?  Hard to get photos, but it sits directly under the driver's seat, I'm assuming it's a radiator of some kind
2. Assuming no warning lights come on, should I be ok driving half an hour to our local Skoda independent?

 

Thanks in advance for help

Assuming your car had a diesel engine, that'll be a fuel cooler.

Should be fine to drive as long as it hasn't ruptured any of the fuel pipes, which I think you'd notice.

That's great, thank you, yes it is a diesel.  Doesn't seem to be dripping, but I'll keep an eye on it.
