A bung from where though ?
thanks

Bung it in the bin?!!

I expect that round end will slide in to a piece of trim that can then be clipped in to something. My Shuttle has a piece of removable trim over the wheel jack which has got 4 tongues to secure it in place, for some unknown reason one of the tongues is removable (see pic) the rest are all permanently moulded in place, I have never worked out why one is removable.

Might be something that is normally removed at PDI

Im thinking that the u bit on the back maybe holds a cable? Side door maybe ?

The image stamped on it would suggest it's something to do with the sliding door.

I have a rule with bits found in or around my van! If it’s metal worry slightly then forget about it. If it’s plastic assume it’s for the recycling bin.

I like your thinking

Mr google he say:
VAG 7 LA 843959 A - Ventilation Grille, bumper. Auto parts "

For a Towrag? (Touareg)

 

[N58amx]

Something from the bumper then lol

Doesn't this cover a hole on the sliding door where you can gain access to the lock mechanism?

 

[JOG]

Amazing! A random piece and it gets identified!

 

[VanDamMan]

The symbol on your part seems very similar to this T5 Caravelle sliding door switch....so my guess its origin comes from the sliding door
