[s-cars] C5 A6 leaking into passenger footwell

Lee: Good news bad news. Clear cowl drain = good, Missing pollen filter cover = bad.

The cover plate you are missing is shown here:

However, that plate is NOT listed as a separate part (AFAIK), e.g. as per this diagram:

Hello Chris at Force 5?, I was wondering.....

Good luck
