My 88 westy 2.1 wbx still has that shield. I'd read that an o2 sensor (references?) outside air through small holes at wires into sensor body but great detail info on that clip shield re maintaining heat!

That manifold is from a New Beetle or so I was told. Image: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NA1H1M874ok/TtbekSSxTcI/AAAAAAAAFas/5Mn3VlYFcMw/s640-Ic42/ExhaustManifold1.jpg Neil.
