Air Ducts

Post by mrscalex »

Is anyone familiar with this part? It's #5 in the diagram and is the right-side air duct that mounts to the front panel on the outside of the radiator.

The 1.8/1.9s use this part (51718397358).

Image

And the 2.0+s use this part (51718401824).

They look pretty similar to me with the exception of the front left cut-out on the 2.0+ piece. I have the 1.9 part off the breaker and it seems to offer up okay to the 2.2. I'd much rather have the 'proper' part on but I'm eager to get the 2.2 project through the MOT and would be happy to come back and change this part later if there is no issue with altering the air flow in the meantime.
