Help with part number.

[R.Pires]

Hi,

My engine (3.0D) front cover is missing the part marked on the attached pic.
By the diagrams online, I can’t understand if that is a single part or two or more, a rivet, a screw and what is the part number.
Can someone please help me with the correct part number(s) to secure the engine front cover?
Thanks in advance for your help

Regards

51471919209 (expanding rivet) - they're a 2 piece design.

4 of the above part number is required.

Thank you very much!

For future references, head to realoem.com with your vin handy. It has all the parts diagrams & part numbers you could possibly need.

Ditto what X5SND said. The part you have circled is #7 in the diagram...and the QTY column indicates there's 4 of these expanding rivets.

Item #6 is a grommet which can be purchased separately if also needed...but the bracket that attaches it to #5 means that if you purchase #5 (suction hood)...these rubber grommets are included with item #5. If you click the link posted above the diagram below...there's an image link on the far right of #7 in the part number index that shows how th expanding rivet looks:
