What is this? Is something missing there?
Gents,

Noticed these one on each side. Is there something missing? Like a pipe?

Every d3 owner asks that quesiton sooner or later
They are for when the engine is fitted in a car, swirl flap widgets.

swirl flap widgets - could you explain a bit more? What are they/what purpose they serve?

They close off one inlet valve / tract per cylinder.
Must result in more torque at low rpm
Or smoother drive in a light car

Lots of makes/models of engines have them, lots of them fail and the engine eats them with pretty bad results!
There is a whole market of swirl flap blocking/removal kits out there.
Been around a long time now, can remember our year 2000/2001 mercs having them.
