V8VS Random Foam

[Osbourne123]

My MY2016 V8VS had been parked up a couple of days and in that time a random piece of foam appeared in the footwell on the driver side of the car. I looked up from the floor under the steering column but couldn't see where it fitted. Any ideas?

Can of coke in the photo to show scale.

Oooh, I'd like to know the answer to this too... I have exactly the same problem...

As you can see, this post was left hanging with incomplete info. If you can figure out where exactly it goes, please do tell!

Had exactly the same happening to me on my V12VSR. Dealer fixed it during my last service. It is a piece of foam to prevent some sort of vibration in the footwell.

I've emailed my dealer with the pic (hope thats ok) asking where to stick it. Assuming I won't get a rude reply, I'll report back! ;-)

Yes definitely OK, its a mystery to me, I think we are starting to narrow it down to being related to SportShift Vantages of all varieties so probably related to something around the pedals.

Might be for the hole where your clutch pedal should be. I have a clutch so don't have this problem

.... from Aston Martin....

'It’s a piece of sound proof that sticks above the pedals keep it to one side and we can re-stick when next in.'

Sounds like it's up behind the pedals somewhere.

Hey ho.

Thanks very much. Not as exciting as I'd hoped but good to know!! I'll get the dealer to stick back in too.
