You can take that out to see the timing mark's on the flywheel (these golf's have the flywheel on the outside of the clutch).......it should be screwed in but i can't see the point of fully sealing it as I dosen't hold oil etc

The hole in the middle is where you would fit a diagnostic machine timing sender used by vw dealers. as said above it can be removed so you can see the TDC marks. It is not an important part really.
