Engine cover!

[davo245]

Thanks for the update. No surprise that I had to read it here first rather than VW UK or my local franchised VW dealer letting me know! I have emailed the dealer and await a response. However, I think the range of OEM covers from APR look good.

Response from my dealer today was no such part number or recall number or any date on a replacement cover.

Let us know how you get on? much the same I would think.

Over on a Golf 8 FB page someone has just said they’ve had a call from their dealer and the new covers have been issued and they are getting their’s fitted tomorrow! Anyone else had this call?

I got my engine cover a month ago. I also got the rest of the car with it. I decided not to wait.  I bought a S3 to get it. Xmas tree, put, fairy, work it out.  ¿Does it have red bits?

Hello davo245; VW Dealer: no reply, no idea, no clue. Take your pick sir.

Think he may of made it up l🤣letter comes from vw not the dealer phone call and as most dealers know not a lot about anything these days it seems, I very much doubt that's correct 🙄

I emailed a director in VW UK on 27th June 2023, other than acknowledging receipt of my email, he still hasn't had the courtesy to answer. I think VW UK's attitude is to ignore it and hope it goes away. Unfortunately, the majority of owners have acquiesced, so for VW its neither an issue nor a priority. I am curious to see how, and if,this resolves. A picture of the replacement cover might be needed to convince me it's real.

Must be hoping that the problem disappears quicker than the useless original engine covers.

Just spoken to my Dealer they were notified by email this morning these were available
However when they went to order them they were on already on back order so obviously the limited amount they had released initially were taken
Dealer reckons another few weeks and they should have it for me
