- 1999.5 Golf TDI AUTOMATIC trans. GLS w/PLX package silver/black cloth
2015 Jetta (TDI CVCA) manual trans.
Found this small cloth heat shield/reflector wrap tucked under the engine cover, part # 04L 971 461 A.
Some sites list 04L 971 461 AB as replacement for my 04L 971 461 A part.
Was not partially attached to anything, just stuffed under injector lines. Didn't see anything nearby that it looked like it fell off of.
I haven't found a parts diagram online that leads me to it's under-hood placement / location.
Since the car has only been serviced at one dealership I kinda suspect a dealer tech. had it left over one day and instead of just tossing it "nicely" decided to tuck it away for safekeeping. Maybe it was a part no longer needed/replaced/updated when 2nd stage emissions recall was done?
Can anyone here help me solve the mystery?
As a bit of an aside, I haven't delved into getting a "bootleg" ETKA in years since my quite ancient one served fine for my modest Mk. IV / ALH purposes. Is it still probable to find ETKA applicable for 2015 Jetta if I scrape around the web? Any hints appreciated.
I did find an almost exact diagram of 04L 971 461 A as a standalone part (#6 below) on overseas site (under holder for wiring harness; securing parts for engi..., Golf, Mexico 2016) no help for placement, describes as "heat refective mat wastegate" (does the CVCA even have a wastegate???) and applications don't list 2015 Jetta, shows / listed for (I dropped down the Golfs in case that helps anyone help me):
