If you're talking about the rectangular box with the black seal, then that's where the cabin air filter goes :)

No, you don't have a filter, most vans don't as standard, but if you wanted one, then that's where it goes :)

The blank panel has been fitted on the wrong side :lol:

Peel back the sound deadning on the under side on the bonnet and it should be fitted in that side. :D




I only know that because mine was like that after it came back from the bodyshop :D
