Staying Cool

When I redid the engine tins I noticed that the left and right side rear cylinder heat deflector tins were missing.

Missing the rear heat deflector tin on the number 2 cylinder.

I sourced the missing deflector tins from California Import Parts. I am not sure how much difference these deflectors tins will make but I am not inclined to second guess the VW engineers.
