you got any pics of your engine cover? and possibly a bigger pic of the bay?

can you not just trim the area where its rubbig? or fit some fabric tape to stop the chafing. sounds liek the cover isnt fitted right if its rubbing on stuff though. can you bend the a/c pipe retaining bracket a bit to move it out the way?

but you can see the two pipes at the top, one with yellow tape and one with red and just in view is the pipe at the front for the AC just popping up above the blue screwdriver.

I am hoping that's a last resort cutting the cover. the cover screws down fine i think it may just be the engine vibrating to much, can you tune the engine? or can the engine go out of sink or anything like that?

The cover at the top had rubbed in to the pipe on the right Red and the pipe on the left Yellow is clipped on to the cover which has rubbed on the corrugated plastic the pipe below it.

I was until you said that :undecided: Does the engine cover move alot when the car is idling? Could be some of the mounting points for the cover are loose causing it to vibrate and move

The engine cover is solid on the mounts, i think its the engine what's shaking it self so because the covers connected to it the cover's shaking like mad

That to me indicates a knackered mount of some sort :undecided:

Just been outside and given my engine a good rocking to double check and there dose seams to be a little bit of play back and forth on the passenger side not a lot.
