Engine cover!

[Carlosfandango]

Mine is booked in on Tuesday to replace the long lost cover. Beadles asked if I could leave the car for half a day! I pointed out that the job should take approximately one minute lol.

This is the trouble nowadays, people seem unable to think for themselves, the service IT system probably only allows them to book a half day as a minimum, with the service person being unable to take the initiative and get you just to pop in.

Had VW uk on the phone today, finally confirming that they will be replacing my steering wheel and installing an engine cover around 3rd Oct! Be glad to get rid of the bongs and have a finished looking bay

Hello all. Sort of linked to the engine cover issues {a bit}; O/S/F/ tyre pressure loss warning comes up. Tyre pressure itself is fine. Take it  to VW Dealer.  They cant find any issues but ask for an "extended test drive." I ask what that is exactly only to be told that the "Tech will take it home tonight and return it tomorrow after a longer drive/test." So someone I don't  know, will take my car somewhere I have no idea and return it? Unsurprisingly I refused that kind offer.
Collected the car same day. Got home , popped the bonnet and there it was, the matt black plastic dull as {missing word} cover. Which they didn't  tell me about having been fitted.
At least its there. They also managed to spilt a rubber pipe between the engine and Air Filter housing in the process.
Happy days.

Finally!! Been in today to get my replacement cover hard plastic now not like the original.

So if you want one call dealers had mine done at johnsons VW they are now aware they are available also Vertu have them.

Can I ask which Johnsons VW this was, only I am picking my Clubsport up on Thursday from Stoke, but they did not seem to know there is a replacement.

I think the dry carbon fibre cover I bought from Ali Express looks much better.

This was from Johnsons VW at Wolverhampton  so get them to call that branch mine is a GTI not a clubsport but presume covers will be same. Tell them to ask for Stuart in parts @ wolves if they call and and speak to someone who doesn't know about it presume they all should know at wolves thou said they had done a few covers.

Somewhat nicer than the bath sponge fitted at Wolfsburg

Spoke to them this morning, they checked the car for me and it does not have one fitted. The sales guy spoke to the service and parts department and was told that I will be getting one eventually, VW are working through it at the moment and replacing the ones that have been missing the longest first.
