Looking at the parts diagrams for the D3, it appears there's only UJs and circlips on the rear driveshaft:

That might round down the places to search for you.
its 2.5 inches and it was found at the front of the vehicle or where it was parked at least. was driver side near front wheel. but the car wasnt there at the time as i noticed it on the floor. so it could be rear driveshaft clip?
2.5 inches is to big to be a UJ cir clip i would think,2.5 cm and it could be one.
If it was one,you would be dam lucky to find it at home in the garage.
Has any work been done on the vehicle in reent times?

the only work done recently was a full trans flush and steel pan (i presume). other than that there was some brake light work. is it too big to be a UJ clip?
2.5 inches?
bout the only thing I can think of that has one of those that might remotely be able to fall out is ummm.....
let me get back to you....
thats 2.5 inches diameter not length!! but seriously, do you think it could be drive shaft or steering related BlkKnight?
I've not seen the kit so I wonder if the filter is retained with such a clip and this one went flying during fitment requiring another to be obtained. You could ask where the work was done if they recognise the clip.Quote:

Its far too big for a uni joint circlip from your vehicle. If its from the gearbox filter then its internal and can't fall out so either one hasn't been fitted or its a duplicate. I would keep driving but ring the workshop to discuss a possible source.
