I've had the call from my local garage that my car has a recall and is due for a new engine cover. Who'd have thought it?

Booked in for early December, I told them I'd removed the original one and they said to take it in as VW want it back.

Hard plastic cover fitted to my CS Ireland this morning, didn't think they would ever replace them here.

Can anyone confirm if the revised engine cover for a Clubsport is part number 06Q103925L or 06Q103925N ?

It seems the N version has extra insulation and different mounting brackets. Other forum posts seem to suggest the L version is for the GTI only and not for the Clubsport/ R

06Q103925N:

Any EA888 evo engine over 180KW (245bhp) will have the hard plastic cover with the wadding (pictured) fitted, so that includes the 245 GTI, clubsport, clubsport45, R, and R 30years.

I called Inchcape cheltenham a week or so prior to my brake fluid change and suggested they order the cover so that it can be fitted at the same time, they did, and it was. 👌 spot on.

My GTI is from them too but a ‘23 plate. Can I ask who you spoke to at the dealership regarding this? Mine doesn’t have any active recalls, it didn’t come with a cover so I’m keen to get one if I can.

My local lookers dealership parts team said yeah just book in with servicing team. Spoke to them and they are adamant they can’t do anything as there is no recall on my car for this. I quoted the service campaign code and all.

Also a 23 plate car from a lookers dealer, been told they’re doing the recall in stages, based on production dates, and that we will eventually get one.

I think it was Olivia that I spoke with, but any of the service team would be able to help, I think though, if I recall correctly!? that it was a case of the VIN having been allocated a cover on VWs system, and therefore they were able to order one.

I sent an email to the VW executive office compiling that my new CS was missing the engine cover and they had my local dealer parts department order in the part and have it waiting for me. I didn’t need to book the car in with the service department, just rocked up to the parts desk and they handed it over.

Worth a shot if anyone else is fed up of waiting?
