The actual VW name for this part is "oil deflector".  It is a rectangular
plastic shield that mounts beneath the cylinder head cover to reduce oil
splashing.  I think the actual purpose is to reduce the amount of oil that
is expelled through the breather system and into the intake.  On Vanagons,
it may also help reduce the amount of oil that the lower side of the
cylinder head cover gasket has to deal with, possibly prolonging its life.
