Never seen one of those fitted.. I'd imagine it'd restrict airflow a fair amount too?!

oooooh, that's interesting (in a very anorak VW kind of way lol )

I know cars are often modified in all sort of ways for different markets but as that mesh is post-filter it can't be for 'dusty climates' really?

It could be an ice guard, it is clearly OEM kit with the OBEN stamped on it.

 

Ah, quick bit of research and i have found it, it's a flame guard!

 

Part number 049 133 360 fitted to Mk 2 Golfs on the PL type engine(USA export market), I guess it must be something to do with the way emissions kit works in the US, the fuel probably gets dumped back into the intake.
