Pic request (engine bay)

[Inferno]

Having a bit of trouble with a part that doesn't appear to have been replaced on my car after some repair work.

There is a plate of some discription that goes in front of the alternator to deflect air onto the radiator and I presume to protect the alternator from water and road debris.

I know it's a bit tight in that area, but has anyone got a picture of the area?

 

[Inferno]

Please? Anyone?

I was curious when this was mentioned as I have no idea what it is - I'm sure mine looks like yours!?

 

[Inferno]

Oh. Ok then, can anyone confirm if there should be anything behind the grille?

 

[Bluebeard]

I can check tomorrow mate, if thats any good to you??

I think there should be a piece of plastic that directs air onto the rad assembly.

 

[fil_b]

was missing when i bought my car

A cast iron answer would be great! I'm also trying to get an idea of its shape so I can tell the numbnuts at the garage what they should be looking for.

Thanks Daniel.

There definately is a piece, shaped like the piece of grill you can see and a few cm's deep. Took mine off years ago and never put it back on with no detrimental effect

Yes there should be a plastic bit there, when I got my car sorted the body shop forgot to put it back. I'd forgotten it was missing until I saw this.
