so last weekend there was a rattle/scraping noise coming from underneath the car and it turns out the transmission tunnel heat shield has rotten/burnt through the holes where the bolts hold it on to the chassis. It wasn't held on by anything so I just pulled it off.
first question: (not that I have a choice as I need the car to go to work) can I do any lasting damage by keep using the car for a few more days until I find a replacement?
second question: where do I get one? Part number is 8E0804160AN, there is a used one on fleabay for £30, the local breakers yards close by the time I finish work, and SEAT would probably charge an insulting amount for a new one.
any ideas where should I try? ECP doesn't sell it.
thanks
