So I have a new t6.1 and next to the spare wheel I have an area that looks like a plastic panel should be (VW cutting corners) haven’t fitted.. saw a video of someone working on air suspension and screengrab attached with the white arrow, does anyone know the part number for it? Panel above his head! Thanks

It is actually an aluminium heat shield for a rear silencer

part number 7H0825701C I believe

Many thanks.. makes sense not on as the exhaust ends in the middle and not out the back! There is still a plastic to to the back of the bumper the heat shield joins to I also don’t have but not on that diagram? Not a part number for that? Thanks again
 
There was a thread on this recently : T6.1 2024 rear drivers side underbody sheld protection

The consensus was that they are no longer fitted, my 23 has it but then the exhaust on mine runs the full length still.

For what they cost I think I would fit one :cool:
Ah many thanks.. spot on! So not just me going made.. its an odd way to finish that corner.. just allows muck to stay on the inner bumper.. so its just the heat shield and not a section of plastic that attaches to the bumper?
 
My ‘22 T6.1 has the heat shield but short exhaust. Always thought that was a bit odd.
