Hello to all,

I have the air quality sensor failure issue so went to take a look but noticed that an animal of some kind has  chewed through some other cables and their sleeving in engine bay of 2.0 TDI 190.

 

If I can ask you to take a look at the photos i've included, I'd really appreciate any &all help identify what the part is please?

 

Thanks in advance :-)

nasty nibbly creatures.

 

I can see a part no: 50508103509c on the label attached to the cable - but that comes back as a window switch - maybe we are missing part of that part number from the label.

Thanks and sorry I should have said, I tried full number F01C410125150508103509c but google says "Your search - F01C410125150508103509c - did not match any documents."

Another view in case it helps to identify the part:

Adblue injector.  Range of VW part numbers - VW 04L131113P 04L131113K 04L131113L 04L131113R 04L131113G

 

Brilliant inspectorman, Thank you - very much appreciated!

 

I have this kind of damage covered on my insurance (martins are the usual suspects) so hopefully get it sorted soon

Update on this topic:

Adblue injector replaced by local Skoda/VW/SEAT garage & covered by insurance (518 CHFs), adblue range displayed as 15000KM - all good for 6 weeks :-)

 

Then last weekend after only doing 250 KM's I got the "Error: AdBlue (DEF). No engine start in 1000km" message. I looked under bonnet and replaced parts cable was chewed through again!!

Luckily the insurance came good again and covered repair at another 518 CHFs and will not increase my renewal cost this time.

You can get ultrasonic rodent repellent devices but they can upset all the local wildlife and we have a dog so don't want to do that so have now cleaned out the garage and will be parking Superb in it, in future.

 

 

What I find odd is that we have a 2007 Land Rover Freelander 2 which has also always been parker next to Superb in the past and has never suffered an animal attack. Not sure why - more use of recycled plastics in newer car maybe?

 

Any insights or thoughts from the community please?

Soy-based plastics in the cable insulation rather than petroleum-based, I've heard. 

Not used in older cars.
