so from #50 that looks like the caps that used to be rubber that filled the holes under the battery and on the other side. Am I reading that right?
I got some that were rubber with a T on the back from somewhere and I don't know where.
Kind of like this one below. I am asking because I wanted to get the correct part and now my head is spinning as to what that part is supposed to look like. I found a black plastic one on the Vanagon forum just now and then someone posted the clear plastic ones as what is currently used.
Making it even more embarrassing that I don't know this, the fiche shows them going in from the top which I did and Colin said they went undernearth going up which actually makes more sense because then they let water drain out but not come in. But don't know if they are supposed to be plastic or rubber. |

The battery-tray, drain-hole bungs are rubber.

Well now I'm really confused, #50 in Glenns pic says that's the part number but it shows it in the battery tray and as Nigel says that's rubber and as you say it has the Tee on the back (yes it goes in from below BTW). 211 813 395 looks from here like the plugs for the rustproofing holes below the tail lights. 211 611 849 is a mystery to me, there's no round holes in the inner valance on a later bus, the only application I can come up with for it is the mystery hole in the left end of the outer valance found on late 78 and 79 models, I wonder what the diameter is?

Same illustration has #50 as Prt# 211 813 398. No description as noted in the early diagram below. Was the part superseded, or is it a typo.

Thanks to jerseylooker.

So do I understand this correctly that 211 611 849 is mounted in the rear inner valance. Is it this part?

According to Justkampers but I don't know how, the only holes in that part are oval slots for rustproofing access and that round plug sure ain't gonna squeeze into them.

Are we talking about the same hole as on my '79? I've always wanted to know what this was for...

Well now we are sort of...... I asked if maybe that plug was sized to fit the 79 mystery hole, without knowing it's dimensions we may never know. I thought Hazetguy posted a cap for that somewhere years ago IIRC but I can't find his post right now.
As for what the hole is really intended to do it's still a mystery, saw one on a late 78 a while ago too.

that has to be for that hole in the orange bay above. For the 211 611 849 part BusOk has a note on one of their pages that says 8/78 -1979.
Here is a thread from Hazetguy and these are what goes in the rear panel - and the number doesn't lie in the photos.
edit - the battery rubber plug is 111-801-177

Someone make this post so it can be found next time it is needed
The rubber plug under the battery and other side is 111-801-177
The large plastic plug on a late 78 and 79 bay is a 211-611-849
The small plug that fits under the rear lights on late bays is 211-813-395

yes.
211 611 849 - no idea where those go on a Bay Bus. weird part number too because 611 group is brake cylinders. |
Interesting!
Note that new hydraulic brake slave cylinders, have temporary bungs in the hydraulic connections, to exclude dirt and moisture, whilst the cylinders are in parts storage, so this they might be what they are.

The 211 611 849 appears to be a lot bigger in diameter. |

Just to make it a little more interesting.
http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Bung-Rear-Vala...172490.htm
So what is the deal with the, I am assuming early T2b 211 813 398. I come up with nothing with this Prt#. When they changed back to 211 813 395, there is no modification letter so the part did not change. Any idea?
Still have not figured out where this location is for the 211 611 849? It states it is inside the engine bay.
