Title: Removing R32 engine cover
Post by: Scraggy87 on 30 October 2011, 16:45

Hi guys and girls!

Was just wondering how difficult it is to remove the engine cover from the R32. I'm currently converting my Mk3 with the R32 lump and i would like the rocker cover showing :) Thanks!  :smiley:

I wish it would be as easy as just pulling it off. Looks like there are quite a few bolts holding it together?

It's not the rocker cover i want off. Just the plastic cover. Just looking at it though, it looks a pain In the ass. Looks like so many bolts.  :undecided:

The engine is already in! But i noticed some nice resprays that people have done to there covers, so i would like to do it as well. But now the engine is in, it looks awkward to me.

I have the black surrounding cover off. Now i want to take off the rest of the cover. Seems like lots of bolts hold it in place.

I just thought someone on here would be able to give me proper instructions on what bolts to take out because there are a lot on there. Someone who's done it before maybe?  :undecided:

The big silver thing u want to take off is the inlet manifold not the rocker cover,
I wouldn't bother
