Unidentified part

[Daniel]

Hi,
Does somebody knows the purpose of this horseshoe shaped part between oil pan and clutch bell on my 1.6DOHC? Is it removeable?
Thanks,

Judging from its location I'd say it's an inspection port.

I've tried to move it without succes. The numbered part inside horseshoe doesn't move either.

could it be a way to move the gear box away from each from the engine?

That is just a plastic cover, there should be two. Underneath it you will find further bolts that hold the sump to the engine.

You should be able to pull it out using a pair of pliers.

Thanks for all your infos. I'll have a closer look at next oil change.
