Engine cover!

My dad was told by his Skoda dealer there is not going to be a replacement.

There is a replacement already, it’s just not clear whether or not they’re going to hand them out anytime soon!

Picking up my Audi S3 tomorrow - will let you know if it has an engine cover.

Yep, there's an engine cover on my S3, its got red bits on it to denote performance. I would take a picture, but it's peeing it down.

No commitment - slacker!

Here we go. It has a gas strut and a lock on the glovebox too odd how the beancounters pick and choose what they omit between the models.



I noticed at pickup that the negative terminal flap cover on the 12v battery was missing too - they're sending me another next week.

Ooh an engine cover! An oem bonnet strut too!  The luxuries! A bonnet strut just cost me £73.81. Carbon engine covers are circa £400. So about £500 for those. Do you have sill inserts too? Mine cost  £125, so around £625 all in just for those. Maybe I should have chosen a S3 but when I looked I had a choice of Navarra blue, Navarra blue or Navarra blue, not my choice of colour.

Yes, illuminated S3 sill inserts are standard. I didn't mind the Navarra blue, but I didn't really have much of a choice jumping on one of a few stock (built but not yet delivered). The only colour I would've ruled out would be Python Yellow. I do gave to fit my own puddle lights though - they were in a box within the glovebox, must've been forgotten at PDI.

Do you think the cover off a S3 would fit a GTI?  Ignore the Audi rings, it’s got flashes of red so it could fit in. Maybe they could share the design with VW.

I'd say its very likely. The rings are recessed, so you could stick something over the recess to "blank" it.
