So I was watching an old Kevin Vo video and one of the things mentioned was the car was supposed to have rubber bungs fitted during the dealer inspection. I've got my service coming up this week and thought I'd check mine... No rubber bungs... There is supposed to be 1 in front of each of the rear wheels under the sill. Anyone else have this?
 
Stop water going into the sills apparently
 
Interesting, will need to contort oneself and have a look at some point. If anyone finds the part number, please share. We should do a poll - see if this is even a 'thing'! 😂
 
Mine are in place. Although it looks like underseal is applied when those holes are being used to support the car. That needs covering.

The underseal applied at the port or factory is a/ pathetic and b/ horrible. Anyone using the car in the winter really needs to invest in something decent, as otherwise these cars are going to be rather vulnerable to rot…

Hence why mine is not going to be used in the winter. Not interested in clagging it up with heavy underseal.
 
I won't use it this winter if I can help it. Swift just had new tyres, I'll get it though MOT for another year, get it serviced and do the belts and it can take the hit.

Mine in place also. They are easily checked by feeling just in front of the pinch weld. If underseal complete, you'll get it under your nails like I did.
 
Mine are absent - spoke to dealer who isn't sure about them at all (they still have a demo car, which also doesn't have them) - awaiting their decision...

Does anyone know the part number for the bungs?

Hi mine are in place. They come with the car from the factory and should have been inserted by the dealer at their pre delivery inspection. The part no. is is SU003-02911. I would have a strong word with the supplying dealer!

Thank you - words have been spoken, they're trying to work out who's responsible (that might take a while) between local supplying dealer and ToL, as it was bought through them.

I'm sure that it will be sorted amicably. Probably. Time for the local dealer to shine...

Mine came in their package and were left in the boot or glove box or something along with wheel nut key. After a while I figured out what they were and fitted them myself.

I too thought it would be a little plastic pack, but I've looked everywhere in it (and there aren't that many places to hide things) - if Toyota fail me (perish the thought), they're v cheap (c. $4) in the US next time I visit our son - can't find them listed in the UK

I'm sure local dealer will get them though

Try a Subaru dealer perhaps?
 
Just come back from the service, plugs have been ordered to be sent to my house. Tried to charge me £60 and I politely disagreed with this!
