Hi Jonathan the shiny black bit has a drain hose attached to it as part of the recall for water ingress. It is to ensure that if any water does come through the join that it drips into the shiny black thing and is then taken away safely down the back of the engine and out of harms way.
I am beginning to think that I was right and my wife was wrong (a rare occurrence!). The water was dripping directly from here onto the engine cover. I was told they had done all the recall fixes! If this pipes the water away, that is a definite improvemant. I shall nag about this on Monday.

By the way as a matter of interest what van is it and who is the dealer?? Sorry if you have mentioned this earlier but haven't noticed it.
It is an Orian Zeta ES, i.e an Autosleeper. We were impressed by the flexibilty of the layout; it is under 6m long, a major criterion for us; and it has four seatbelted seats.

Carol,
I showed your picture of the black water catcher to my dealer and said "I want one of those". They got on to Peugeot who siad "What's that? Never heard of it. Where did they get it? What's the part number?"
Am I right in thinking yours is a Peugeot, not a Fiat? Either way, I would be grateful if you could tell me the name of the garage, and then the garage here can ask them about it.
After all that has gone on, we should not be surprised at any level of incompetence, but it is frustrating.

I have a scuttle with a large drain on the drivers side. I have no other water protection , no engine cover. I could see water coming through the centre join, hardly surprising as its joined by a strip of double sided sticky sponge. I removed this strip and sealed the join with thompsons gutter sealant. seems ok will cross my fingers.
