Open your bonnet tell me what you see....

Looking at the bell housing, where the clutch is, is there meant to be a bung in the top? I think I can actually see the clutch. If you can see the clutch that is quite neat - but I would have to get a bung otherwise it could get contaminated.

I can see the thing you refer to on ETKA, but I am not sure its the same thing. Will have to poke my head under the bonnet again. If it is open, then I would say it needs the bung because the last thing you want is oil getting in there.

is it like a white plastic plug with a hexagon shaped hole in the middle? if so it should have a bung in it, I noticed mine had popped out but it was still attached

I had a photo but can't find it...

Got a photo guys? Not sure of exact location to check

JWC, what was the part number for this bung? Thanks

inder · Post by **inder** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:10 am

Is this supposed to be like this?

JWC · Post by **JWC** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:15 am

I don't know. I just found that my bung was flapping about in the wind, so I stuffed it back in.

we have the same car, if you get a chance, could you check if the bung had any part number on it?

I have a piece of metal bent into my hole there, looks odd and not right

I can see the thing you refer to on ETKA, but I am not sure its the same thing

Do you know what sheet/page in etka?

Thanks for your time

Yes, in the picture is the nylon plug, but in the middle there should be a stopper. Its strange looking nylon thing with two handles that you use to unclip it. Check that its not floating around, because between the nylon hex thing in that pic and the box there is a retainer and mine was on that but not plugged in. You will need a dentists mirror to find it! However, VW say its not always fitted, especially on fridays.

lol, damn VW

I will try and have good poke around to see if its lying around. do you have a picture of yours, with the bung fitted - wondering if I can just DIY it

Cheers!

The metal is odd though

hey hope this helps. I was out poking around looking for my MAP sensor and found that i could see my clutch internals too! Placed the black bung back in it tho>

Should look like this....

Click to enlarge.

You could probably DIY it i think with something like the top from most nail varnish bottles ( dont ask ) these usually have retaining stoppers in new bottles.

Hope this helps
