Driveshaft heat shield

[Lindylou]

Hi thanks for letting me join. I’m hoping you extremely knowledgeable VW owners will be able to help me. Last year after my 2014 Touran 1.6 (owned from new) had a major service (40000 miles) there was an advisory note saying that the driveshaft heat shield was missing. I’m sorry to say I didn’t think much about it at the time but as I’m about to book  this years service I noticed the note again.  I have spent a little time searching on the web and can only find second hand heat shields from scrap merchants mostly and I don’t know the VW part number. Does anyone know if this can be bought new from a VW dealership if I give them my VIN number? I’ve obviously been driving around without this thing doing its job and wonder what damage I could have done over the past year? I don’t do many miles less than 5000 a year. 
Thanks for reading and any VW expertise on this topic will be welcomed.

Not sure how far away the exhaust is from the rubber driveshaft gaiter and whether it is affecting the rubber (scorching it, drying it out, etc)

I would pop into the local VW dealership and ask them to look it up on their parts system - if they can't order it at least you'll know the part number
