Vehicle Reference & Fitment Location

Where is this part fitted & What does it do?
This dashboard air vent assembly is located on the Right Driver Side (Offside / O/S in the UK, near the driver door) of the main dashboard fascia. It directs conditioned airflow and heating/cooling towards the driver window and upper body, and features an integrated thumbwheel louvre control to adjust airflow direction and volume.
Part Details, Materials & Symptoms of Failure
Material: Automotive-grade textured ABS polymer housing, satin silver trim accents, and adjustable directional internal louvre vanes.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Unit:
- Broken, snapped, or loose internal louvre fins that won't direct air properly.
- Snapped clip tabs causing the entire vent housing to pop out of the dashboard when adjusting.
- Damaged or missing airflow thumbwheel control roller.
- Scratched, faded, or discoloured plastic trim affecting cabin aesthetics.
The Massive Benefit of Buying a Factory Original Part: Cheap aftermarket vents often suffer from loose fitting tolerances, mismatched grain textures, or fragile clips that break upon installation. An original factory part (Part No: BM51A018B08DJ3JA6) guarantees an exact snap-in dashboard fit and factory colour match. Plus, buying a high-quality recycled original part saves you as much as 70% compared to buying brand new from a main dealer!
