Hello, I’ve got a 2016 Superb with an electric drivers seat. 

When I was cleaning the car I found this part under the seat. I’ve no idea what it is, or if it’s even off the seat, but the seat seems to work fine. 
 

Any suggestions should be appreciated.

 

thank you. 

Ive had the seats stripped down to their individual components and cant say ive ever seen that part - could it be from something not car related?

Quite possibly. 
 

I’ve spoken to everyone in the family and no one has any idea what it is or where it’s come from. 
 

It just seemed like it might be to do with the mechanism.

It looks like a "plastic" spacer. Whether it is part of a Skoda or not I have no idea,

I recognise it but cant be sure from where, I think it was from when I replaced several clutch master cylinders in a short space of time, something from the clutch pedal assembly that dropped out, has this been replaced on your vehicle perhaps?

 

A look at an on line parts diagram for the clutch pedal and master cylinder might be revealing.

It hasn’t had a new clutch assembly but I’ll have a look at an exploded diagram to see if it’s anything from the pedal box. Thanks for the help. 

Thanks for the replies from everyone. I finally got to the bottom of this. 
 

There are lots of posts on here when you look closely, all with the same issue. 
 

The part is a spacer which fits at the top of the pedal assembly. 
 

I managed to put it back but having seen what it does it real has very little use and could be left out.

 

I’ve attached the schematic for anyone who comes across this in future, and a photograph of it in place. 
 

People have said it’s a nightmare to get to but if you remove the little coin holder drawer to the  side of the steering column it’s easy to see and get to. 
 

I hope this helps someone in the future. 

I knew that I recognised it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thinking hard I (wrongly) surmised that it must have been the part numbered 9 that retains the ball ended plastic master cylinder pushrod, now I recall that the first time I removed the whole pedal assembly including the bracket which was not needed.

 

I reckon I found the part after that and its in the storage cubby amongst other random unidentified parts which regularly reveal themselves.

 

What does it actually do, I cant tell from the diagram or photo, is it a retainer for the threaded top hat insert?

It does absolutely nothing.
 

Part 21 is a type of female sex bolt that sits deep in a hole on part 1. 
 

The nylon bush just covers it up.
 

It isn’t threaded internally but the external groves help hold it in place. 
It’s  little more than a fancy grommet. 
 

just an example of over engineering I think.

Probably what the factory robot uses to fit and align the pedal assembly 

It has a purpose in that when you refit that bracket (that you didn't need remove in the first place ) if like me the bung is missing than when you try to fit the bolt from inside the engine compartment it pushes out the (not) captive nut 🤪.

 

So yes, definitely over-engineered, at the time I wondered how any human being lacking multi-articulated 6' long robotic arms could ever fit the bracket without help, I think that I glued the captive nut part no 21 in place as they should have done or have moulded it in place.

 

When I rebuilt a burnt out MK1 Galaxy people carrier, one of the very first production models I had a bit left over, a blackened and rusted (through the fire) pressed steel bracket, from the part number it was revealed to be a steering columb support bracket so presumably an essential part, I had the dash and columb out  a second time yet no way could I find where it was supposed to go yet clearly it once was there and I probably had removed it myself.

Good thinking!!
