Hi guys is there anyone on here who owns a mk2 octavia sport (or from what I read I believe an octavia wing in Europe?) Reason for asking is I'm trying to obtain a rear towing eye cover which I'm stumped. I put a request for towing eye covers a few weeks back and was given the only available part numbers for towing eye covers. Well the standard textured plastic one does not fit and I have obtained a vrs one which does fit and the only other available is a scout one which is a completely different shape. I hope someone on here has one that could possibly send me the part number through??

Can you not get the part number from that?

Sorry I meant doesn't fit. Some one posted 3 part numbers in a previous topic I started so I tried my standard one which is the wrong shape and size. So I ordered a vrs one from tps and its similar in shape but its too big so I'm left scratching my head. The dealers think I'm talking about a vrs when I ask so I thought hopefully someone on here still has a sport and would be able to get thr part number?

Pardon what might be an obvious question, but do you have an original cover and if so, what part number is on it?

@octaviani Maybe put up a picture of what your Octavia Sport looks like and the orifice needing a cover looks like!

Unfortunately not got the bumpers from the breakers and it was missing

This is the body kit in question its the standard bumpers with a skin bonded over the bumper.  The part number for the skin is 1Z5807796.

That's the 2 tow eye covers the only other is the scout one. So it's there another "hidden" part number I haven't come across?

There's a couple of covers listed in this https://www.skoda-parts.com/catalog/octavia-2/spare-parts/body/rear-body/rear-bumper-312.html?strana=1&sort=&query=

I had a look but it's only the standard one , vrs , scout and the face-lift one. 

I didn't know there was an Octavia MK2 in 'sport' spec ..................

There is one being sold on eBay at the minute which looks like it has the cover in place.

 

Might be worth getting in touch with the seller and see I'll they'll help you out by having a look at the cover for a part no.

Actually scrub that one, looking again it's a regular Ambiente where everything on the bumpers has been colour coded.

Right I have eventually  tracked a sport owner who kindly sent me a pic of the towing eye cover but I'm assuming because the sports are rare its going to be a nightmare to track this number down?? I googled the number and nothing g came back apart from a mention on a Russian website and even the bumper skin over the rear bumper doesn't show on my local dealers parts catalogue???? So I don't know if anyone on here has a link or access to a parts catalogue I do have a family member who works at TPS and I'm hoping he can find something out tomorrow.  The number on the cover is 1z0. 807.449 

It is stamped by auto test which I assume manufactured the body kit?

Are you 100% sure the part no starts with 1Z0 ? I would be very surprised.

 

The part nos on the Mk2 Octavia are split into 3 groups.

 

Each start with :

1Z0 is generic to the entire Octavia range.

1Z5 is used on parts specifically for the hatchback

1Z9 is used on parts specifically for the estate (combi)

 

As the Sport was only ever sold as a hatch, I would expect the cover to start with 1Z5.

 

Looking at the parts catalogue, there is no different part listed for the for Sport model.

 

 

Given that you have tried the scout and the regular cover, looking at your pictures of the bumper, will the vRS cover fit?

 

Looks different to the scout trim.

 

https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/1z5807441a-towing-lug-cover-rs-14080.html

 

This is the catalogue for the vRS, which shows the different part.

 

 

 

 

Ok, I've done a bit more detective work on this.

 

Part no FAA 610 002 is the lower rear bumper spoiler with "Sports suspension kit"

 

 

 

 

This website lists the spoiler, and in the description is the below

 

 

Replacement cap for towing eyelet art. FAA610012

 

 

This corresponds with no 7 on the above part diagram (trim for bumper tow hitch)

 

 

 

Thank you very much for thr detailed info in this.

Right guys let me thank softscoop again for his detective work on this issue, but there is always a bloody but! I had contacted my local skoda dealer with the new part number in hand and q high hope I'd have a towing eye cover in hand within the week. Well it's hasnt been that straight forward. My local dealer run the part number and said yes the FAA number is correct but he doesn't have the part in stock and can't order it from skoda as they dropped the part in July 2020 and didn't offer a replacement to it. So he checked the akoda dealers within the UK and know one has any old stock sitting anywhere.  So I emailed a skoda dealer in Drogheda Ireland I knew off and enquired and again they didn't have the part can't order it and know one in Ireland has one either. So I came across a website based in Slovakia (oem something) and it's listed on there page but said they have no stock. I also contacted skoda uk to see if that can help and have any contact with the factory in the off chance (we can all hope) there's one in the factory somewhere but they don't deal with parts enquires. So at this moment in time I can either keep searching for one in the hope one appears on ebay (there is a complete red rear sport bumper there at present but I only paid £100 for the 2 bumpers and he's looking £120 for the rear only and I'd still need to ship it to Northern Ireland) or someone on here MIGHT have one or  (and this is a big IF) if someone has one and can either have a copy made in a local 3d printing place or a CAD file I can take to my local company to have one or 2 printed (I understand there's costs involved and  willing to pay them as long as it ain't overly priced) or if anyone on here has any contact with a skoda dealer in Europe who can put me in touch to source one? I know it sounds a bit excessive for a towing eye cover buy I like the look of the bumpers and it stands out from the vrs I think. So any help is appreciated guys.

Wow this really is a challenge.

 

I found it listed for sale here:

https://www.autokelly.cz/Product/VAG-FAA610012/11922992

 

But it states:

 

Available in: 0 branches
Not on the central stock

 

Looking at the pictures of the item, it looks like that earlier part no you found was correct

 

 

"1Z0 807 449"

 

This literally returns 0 results on Google.

 

Looking at the pictures, it looks like a low volume, low quality plastic part. I can't find anywhere that has it listed as in stock.
