Random Spring

[Swissdog-exUK]

Just come back from a week in Italy and found this laying in the boot space. Anyone any ideas? Everything appears to be working, definitely wasn't there when packing the van. Pic on wallet for size reference.

Thanks for any ideas, even the wise ones

Cheers,
Barrie

Sure it is nog from one of de Trays underneeth the backseat?
Looks like it should be either from the handels or locks to keep them in place.
Could be sprung off when making the bed. But you would have noticed since it would have gone it litle more difficult.

Thought the same, both the levers to move the bench and open the drawer are still springing back as normal. It was under the middle of the rear shelf, thought initially it was from the tilt mechanism, but that works too. Maybe just a surprise gift from VW

Do you have seat covers fitted? If so it could be one of the springs holding the cover on.

No just as from factory. Will keep hold of it until something makes itself obvious.

Is it not one of the springs for the either side mechanism holding and just below the rear parcel shelf?

I couldn't see one but it would make sense, don't suppose you have a link to a drawing? won't get to it to have a look until Saturday

Sorry to ask, but where / what is that exactly?

Its the rear bed base on a T6.1 - part of the ratcheting mechanism that lets you lift the rear of it so you can sit up in bed, or access the boot under it

... or remove the shelf entirely:
