Might anyone know a) if there should be some sort of trim cap on the bolt that is exposed through the firewall pad and located just forward of the main relay board (see photo) and b) if so, its part number? I don't see it in any of the parts diagram and I'm not sure what it's connecting to on/in the firewall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Mine's been "open" for several decades but not sure if there was a cap that fell off or it's just "open". At least I've finally gotten around to cleaning it up (after the photo). |

Hobo finish hack: Here's what I did:
1. Before anything. 2. Clean up the area. 3. "Nylon hole plug; 1" diam" at ACE Hardware; 75 cents. Got 2 since presume there's another one on the firewall in front of the battery. Will check/do next time battery is out. 4. Done. Put one wrap of friction tape on plug collar to improve traction. Cheap. Clean. Quick. My favorite kind of maintenance! Unsure if Porsche or VW meant for a hole cover to be there, but if not, there SHOULD have been. 1. 2. 3. 4. |
