Rear Inner Wheel Arch Grommets?

I am about to jet wash under my arches, and noticed that Im missing one of the Grommets. My drivers side rear has one fitted at the lower point of the inner arch (to the side of the wheel), but my passenger side there is a hole, and I would like to fit a replacement bung.

Any idea what size this is?

Im guessing removal of these allows for some waxoil to be sprayed in the voids?

I guess I could remove the one fitted, and inspect, then try and find a replacement.

Look what I did there. Answered my own question. Yes, its one of those days :run

Photos of the one I removed.. (think there's a part number on there)

I checked ETOS,the 19mm one is 803 803 583 A, ETOS shows this available at 86p, the 15mm one is N 020 027 1, supposedly available at 53p.

There is a VW doc (in german only) all about how to do the cavity wax injection. Its probably on vwpix.org.

If you have one lhd, I would happily take it off your hands. Not sure the number on it are the part number though, so maybe the 19mm one mentioned above. :ok
