Thread: Random Bolt Found in Engine Bay

  1. #1

    Default Random Bolt Found in Engine Bay

    Hi All,

    Quick one - I opened up the bonnet and noticed a small bolt sitting on top of the intercooler.

    Really really unsure what it is, where it is meant to be placed or even if its from my car?

    All I have done is stage 1 COBB intake. So I was thinking it might be part of the standard airbox mounts? (refer to pics)

    Here are some pics of the bolt and also pics on where i think it should be.

    All help appreciated.

    That goes inside the rubber grommet that holds your intercooler into place

    Remove your intercooler and place it inside the rubber grommet

    Check that the rubber grommet sleeves are all still in your standard air box mounts, cause that's what it looks like.

    I checked the TMIC last night and all bolts are in place and they are a different bolt (but look similar)

    Since the bolt was found sitting right on top of the IC - Maybe on the very lucky occasion someones flicked a bolt right through the bonnet scoop? That would be the first!!

    If you unbolt the plastic shroud off your IC and then unbolt your IC itself, where the holes are that hold the IC in place there will be rubber grommets
    The metal sleeve, fits inside of it

    When i get home, I'll send pics if you need

    I have to check my spark plugs anyway, so it won't be a problem

    Is definitely the sleeve that goes inside the airbox mount. I will take a photo of the one that I have stored inside my airbox (now not on the car) when I get home tonight, if you like.

    If the IC hasn't ever been off the car, it probably won't be that?

    It was my initial thought aswell that it might be the airbox mount. Is everyone referring to my last picture as to which mount it is? Or is it another?

    Yep thats the one in my last picture.

    I just had a look at at my stock airbox and it actually has the grommet and sleeve.

    Its pretty much the same but the airbox one is longer. So we can eliminate the airbox sleeve.

    Attached pics to show difference in size.
