| What is the rear most threaded hole in engine tin for? This would be the hole directly in front of the crankshaft pulley. |

To cover the crank pulley. probably intended to keep stuff away from the pulley. most were left off to make changing the belt easier.

| I don't think I have ever seen that piece before. Is it a necessary piece? The threaded hole with nothing in it just bugs me. |

put a screw in the hole
here's what it looks like installed. sometime later VW left it off, so no not necessary.
