It's padding and used in the wings as support and to reduce vibration /noise. The sealed bag should stop water absorption. It's a good sign it's there as it's often left out after accident repairs

Common to all, just for some reason vw think the corrosion is more common on diesels possibly due to more vibration.

I feel really stupid....even from that Golf 4/5 TPI document linked earlier in this thread I still can't figure out what I should be looking for on my own Roc lol.

Is it possible for someone to take a photo of what it looks like on a Roc? Only reason I ask is because my car's in for a repair after a non fault accident so wanna make sure it's there when it comes back! lol

Cheers!
