    I never realised either until I spotted one on eBay last year. I never got it (forgot) but one of the guys in the AOC did and has it fitted in his ABY Coupe as his was missing too.

          There is a cover that is supposed to go over the battey itself (Part number 895 915 411). There wasn't one on mine when I bought the car, so it must have been removed at some point in the past and forgotten to be refixed in place (probably during a service etc).

          I wasn't aware there was a cover either as mine is missing! Would it be beneficial to have this part?

            There has been the occasion where the base of the seat has touched both terminals and set alight to the rear seats

              Hmmm.. that pretty serious then. Anyone know how much this cover is and is it a stealer part only?

                Gents:

                At least all the batteries that i have purchased here in the states come with a thick plastic cover for the plus terminal that would prevent a short circuit from above - you might need to trim the cover a bit for the terminal....

                    Ah i see my terminals have a plastic over them so unless it goes through the cover i should be o.k for the time being.

                            I've looked at doing this. My fuel lines could do with being replaced anyway, but I haven't quite worked out where I'm going to put the fuel filter yet.
