what engine is it?

hi,
vw probably call it a manifold/switch housing. It is where the hot water from the cylinder head flows to your heater circuit. Check to see how many switchs(sensors) it has before ordering. cheers

You mean the flange on the end of the block/head? I'm struggling a bit with photo.

A common failing on the 1.6/1.8 VW Golf/Scirocco engines too .... they suffer from thermostathousingitis where the mild steel sleeves rust, expand and crack the plastic.
