I need a new AirBox

[last-human]

Hi folks - I need a new airbox (the box the air filter sits in) as the bottom of mine has a huge hole in it, but I am struggling to find the OEM part number without having to pull the whole thing out, can anyone help please? Its a 2018 T6 T28 HLN 2.0 TDI BMT (the 204 BHP one).

Can't narrow it down but there seems to be a choice of 3. Have a look at the pages below. Maybe the differences in pipework will help the choice. The part no.s are
7E0129607, 7E0129607AA, 7E0129607T.

Have you thought of calling into a TPS to see how much they are? They may not sell to the public, it varies, my local one doesn’t.
Also just call VW van centre for a price. You might be surprised.
Many of the parts you see listed on eBay are way inflated over the VW price.
My recent example, bumper bracket; eBay £17, VW £7.
Similar story with my Audi header tank.

How big is ‘huge’, I would think it could be patched up pretty easily. Not like it’s on show or is going to affect reliability.
What do you think caused it?
