There should be a heat shield :wink: - they're also obsolete :cry:

I don't get this "obsolete" word - they're still making mk1's in south africa so why cant we get the bits :angry:

you can look at all VW models in details and find parts from this website - http://volkswagen.msk.ru/

Worth downloading the Mk1 documents - they are a life saver.
