Warm air deflector pipe missing.....
Basically here is my air intake unit;
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1007773/IMAG1938.jpg)
As you can see there isn't a pipe going to the warm air deflector plate (and as far as I'm aware there isn't a warm air deflector plate!).
Car seems to be fine, but what problems might this cause? Anyone know where I can get a deflector plate from, or could i just use some piping to the general area? And I presume it attaches to the back of the exhuast manifold?
Cheers for you time guys, much appreciated
Downs.

I changed mine to gti manifold and thus had no studs on the left side, simply get some piping from gsf, and run it to exhaust manifold area, job done.
If you can secure it also so not flapping about

I sorted this as i had this on both my mk1 and mk2 by simply placing a piece of carding on the right side behind grill as to stop moisture traveling up the cold air feed part of air filter box.
Did this a few year ago, been everywhere in any kind of weather and not missed a beat.
I removed both cold air feed pipes from mine so away from grill, and just left the warm air feed connected, as plenty of cold air comes in already

if you find a later MK2 Golf GTI you'll note they have a much smaller air shroud that is only held on with 2 nuts, and this is easily fitted with everything in place. on my driver both of the studs had sheared off though, so i secured it with a really big jubilee clip!
I tried runnign my 1.6 with a missing shroud and the pipe stuffed back near the exhaust, even that wasnt good enough it would still cut out on me.
