I was doing a brake service just now, and spotted something that looked out of place.

Could have fallen to where it was found from within engine bay, I think.

Might be just road debris that's flicked up and lodged there?

It's plastic, has a very short screw thread on the back. Last photo shows where it was found just between arch liner and lowest point of red bumper plastic.

Looks similar to whats on my Octavia there are plastic inserts that fit into chassis near rear swing arm. I assume to cover bolts. Mine came out when I jacked car up. to get it off axle stands.

This is at the front, wondering about maybe off top of A/C dryer. Will have a look in a sec.

Can just about squeeze my arm down in here and feel that it has come off the bottom of the condenser dryer.

Can't get it to screw back in, either way. Not sure if it has maybe sheared off from a longer plastic thread originally.

Would be bumper off to get a proper look, and not sure it's worth it.

Condenser was new last summer, and no way is that cap any sort of gas seal.

Is it sort of rubber-ey, Pete? It's not like a sort of dampener to absorb vibration perhaps?

I removed similar from a Vectra I was stripping, they were fitted to the radiator.

No, it's just a plastic dust cap I think. I guess there's a screw-out bit behind it that lets the dryer cartridge be inserted during build of the condenser.
