5G0971582 Volkswagen side air b

This little piece basically directs airflow away from sensitive electrical connections, specifically your wiring connectors. It's a small plastic guide, really, but it does a surprisingly important job. It doesn't create airflow, it just changes where it goes. You’ll find these near the engine, often protecting connectors on things like sensors, the alternator, or even parts of the fuel system. Anything with a wiring connector that's exposed to engine heat and the rush of air moving through the engine bay is a likely spot. It fits right alongside the connector, usually clipping in place. Think of it like a shield. It prevents hot engine air – and sometimes water splashed up from the road – from directly hitting those connections. Constant heat and moisture can cause corrosion, leading to intermittent electrical problems, or eventually a complete failure. You’ll notice if you lose a sensor signal or something stops working unexpectedly, and often a missing or damaged air deflector is part of the cause. They’re cheap to replace, and doing it now can save you a lot of headaches and potentially more expensive repairs down the line. Fixparts Online carries a good selection of these, if you're looking for one. It's one of those little parts that makes a big difference. We’re here to help: Side Air Deflector (MPN 5G0971582) includes a 12-month warranty!
