OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi body and floor sealing plug
803-803-583 is the individual closure plug for the assigned body or floor opening. The factory catalog identifies the plug application with a nominal 30 mm specification.
The plug closes its original receiving opening when the panel and seating edge remain serviceable. It is supplied individually; the number of plugs and their locations differ between body configurations.
Technical details and supplied quantity
- Manufacturer part number: 803-803-583; compact reference 803803583.
- Brand: Genuine VW/Audi.
- Component: body/floor sealing plug, also cataloged as a bung.
- Nominal catalog application: 30 mm.
- Quantity: one individual plug per purchase.
Confirm the original opening, flange profile and vehicle-specific part assignment. A nominal size alone does not establish compatibility with other closure designs. Separately specified drain valves and differently shaped body plugs are separate components.
Common reasons to replace
- The original plug is missing after body or underbody service.
- The plug is split, distorted or otherwise damaged.
- The retaining profile no longer seats correctly in the assigned opening.
- Repair of the affected body area requires its original closure to be restored.
Inspect the receiving opening before installing a new plug. Corrosion, a bent panel edge or damaged protective finish requires its own repair. If liquid has entered the interior, diagnose and repair the source as well; replacing a floor closure does not correct a leaking heater core, window seal or roof drain.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory procedure for access to the affected body opening. Remove damaged remnants without enlarging the opening, and inspect the surrounding panel and protective coating. Complete necessary panel repairs before fitting the closure.
Seat the plug in its prescribed orientation and verify that the retaining profile engages the receiving edge. Use separately required sealing or protective materials only when specified by the applicable repair instructions. Do not obstruct an opening assigned a working drain valve.
Restore any removed trim or lower covers with the correct hardware. Confirm that the plug remains fully seated and inspect the repaired area according to the factory procedure.
