Hello please can anyone help me with the part number for the 3 rubber buffers/grommets that hold the lower part of the air filter housing in? Can't remember that website people sometimes use. Thanks. Octavia 3 TDI.

Thanks, shame my vin won't go in

Model and year perhaps.  If it's three rubber grommets perhaps they have the VW part number on them?  I've no idea but lots pf parts do if you can get them off the car to look.

 

I'd not do it for you with my wife's Fabia as removing the airbox is a PITA, farting about with those silly hose clips and last time I took the airbox off I scratched the plastic top as it slipped off the worktop as I turned it over to get the silly screws out  ******* German engineers and their clever ideas.

 

Some posters on here have access to files which include parts, possibly erwin and other sources.  I'd just ring up the Dealership parts as it's often as quick and about same cost or even quicker and less cost than elsewhere with P&P and the gamble of the correct part and not wrong or substitute.

 

I've had the airbox off it's only a few minute job. I'll have another look at later date. Lol must be the one with the lethal spring clips and the screws underneath is it?

In reality it doesn't take long but seems to with those spring clips  and the shape of it when you turn it over to get the hidden screws out (I suppose they'd learnt they couldn't trust the fantastic-plastic (ever seen a Lidl Aldi Bentley with the skin off) to even once hold after filter change.

 

Not as bad as one of the spring clips on the cooling at bottom near grille, no matter which pliers I used including the proper cable remote type, the ratchet jaw was too large for fit in space, without dissembling the front of the car I struggled and then when I did get them both off in all my collection of jubilee clips I didn't have a good size fit so the stupid spring clips had to go back on.  Again nothing difficult just PITA awkward and of I never start with a good attitude and it tends to get worse, but I am very cheap to employ, just loathe working on our cars, particularly this one.
