its to release the BS coming from this thread :p
surely its to stop something entering or leaving the box?or to plug a hole that isn't used by SEAT,but is by other VAG applications(sender of some kind),theres bound to be a hole in the box somewhere,that needs its bung back :)

like i said one of the mechanics at our place had a look for me and said it was nought to worry about so i took his word for it,maybe on other vag cars it maybe needed but he just said its nothin to concern meself with:p :p if it was needed to bung up an important whole it should fit tighter than they do.
