I was looking at some other 16valve golfs at the springfest,and noticed they had a rather large heat shield at back of engine, not the one on the bulkhead but about 3 inches in front of it. Does anyone known if that is a standard part and what part number. Also is there supposed to be a shield on exhaust manifold? I can see two bolts on it but no shield.
the upper one on the scuttle you mean? this is a standard 16v and GTD part, you can also find them on corrado 16v and you also need the 2 plastic clips which hold it at the bottom: 191803312 - upper heat shield 191803340A - clip
Thanks John, I think so, it looked like it attached on the lip that the rubber strip pushes onto that also secures the plastic tray that covers wiper linkage
Yeah that's the one, they are bloody expensive, wonder if I can make one from one of those big thick foil sandwich trays
You could wrap the looms and pipes above the exhaust in heat protection tape if you're worried short time, keep an eye open for used parts. Not difficult to find really
Just looked on eBay, just 2 new ones at the mo, I can feel a split along underside of servo pipe, but it is not leaking, must be a thick old pipe.
