I called Inchcape cheltenham a week or so prior to my brake fluid change and suggested they order the cover so that it can be fitted at the same time, they did, and it was. 👌 spot on.

Finally had the illusive engine cover fitted to my CS. Looking much better under the hood now, along with the racingline gas strut and black washer cap I fitted last week 😁

Contacted vwuk today,to chase my illusive engine cover. Got told that there is no schedule to replace the engine cover on CS . There is a program in place to replace on GTI,R. With the earliest cars getting fitted first. Which is right. Was told that i would eventually get one, but no idea when. Is there anyone else been told something along these lines?

Cheers,

Funny because I have been talking direct with vwuk on another issue which resulted in them arranging a new steering wheel for my 21 CS. I asked about the engine cover and they said yep your needs the replacement. Got them both fitted at the dealers last week at the same time.

Yep well that's wrong, seeing the post you quoted was a picture of my 21 plate CS with a freshly fitted vw engine cover lol they're doing them in batches, allocated oldest reg first. Don't bother with vwuk, speak to your dealer and make them look up your car. Chances are though, if you've got a newer 2021 reg or later, it won't be your turn

My GTI is a late 2021 71 plate, and the cover was replaced weeks ago, anyone who wants to check can enter their VIN on this page https://www.volkswagen.com.au/app/locals/owners-service/service-campaigns-recalls , if it shows the engine cover then it will be on the dealers system too.

What differences do you find with the air intake upgrade ?
