Hello all-

I have an '01.5 Passat 1.8T AWM and I have a question as to whether or not the part I mentioned in the title is really important. I am in the process of replacing my cracked oil pan, and this plastic plate has broken from where it attaches to the oil pump. It is Sunday and I will not be able to find a replacement today. I would rather button it up now with the new pan and get it back on the road for tomorrow, but I cannot determine if it is vital to have this part replaced. The part # in ETKA is 06B 103 623 C, and is called a restrictor. I have attached an image so you can see what I am talking about. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
