Hi all, just picked up my a3 a 2011 hatchback 2 litre diesel. I've noticed that on the drivers side around the same position as the exhaust there is a cut out that looks like it has the plastic cover missing. It looks like it has a pipe inside what would this be? And any ideas were I could get a replacement cover?

Cheers, Bp.

I'm confused. Do you mean the side of the car or the rear? A picture would help.

Hi apologies if I didn't make it very clear, the rear of the car the opposite side to the exhaust looks like it has a cover that Is missing, I have attached a photo.

Cheers.

Hello Branden,

That should be easy. Just wonder into your nearest dealer, armed with that photo and your registration number, and they should be able to  obtain the correct cover plate for you.

My quess is that it covers a tie- down loop, and the cover has been removed for access to this and not replaced. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Cheers Gareth, I'll pop in to my local audi and get a replacement👍😊
