OK, I have a 'new' 1984 Rabbit GTI engine in the car. It has a small rubber
hose on the back side of the cylinder head, it is between cylinders 3 & 4,
closer to the clutch side rather than the timing belt side. 

If I am to understand this, then the "shrouds" are mostly down inside the
cylinder head, surrounding each injector for part of it's length.

Am I clueless yet or on to something?
