Why is there a piece of dowel there?

It's loosely wedged into a hole in the ?flywheel housing? (im no mechanic). There's a couple of nails to stop it going in too far and a bit of wire tying it to the engine.

Should i be worried?

If it is good enough for Noddy and Big Ears in Toytown it should be good enough for our vans.

It gives access to the torque converter bolts on automatic vehicles.

Bloody hell! Wood AND fish in the engine.

Ok, so the obvious question.. is there a VW parts website or equivalent where I can order one?

ok here's the obvious answer

find your local VW commercial van dealership (yellow pages, internet),telephone them and order the part.. with the part number
