My engine looks wonky

Featured Replies

is it just me or does it look like my engine is a little low on the left hand side??

If it was a bit low, wouldn't there be driveshaft issues / rubbing / funny angles etc?

I have to say I can't honestly tell from the pic

Mine and others I've seen are like that, it may just be the cover.

Here's one I took earlier of mine:

I think the wonkiness is an optical illusion. :(

Nice shot of the "Red Arrows" too Denis :D

But it is in the top one! What am I missing? :confused:

It doesn't seem to be in your pic Denis...

You only have half a car !!!! :eek:

I think it is just the way the engine is installed in the engine bay. My old 16v and also the vRS seem to have the engines in at an angle. :)

Yeah they usually are at an angle, was told its some sort of geometry that hepls with torque steer, no idea if that was true or flannel.

The thing with the yellow sticker on it is an aftermarket alarm siren is it not?

aren't they normally installed nearer the front of the engine bay?

'aftermarket'

Can be installed anywhere the fitter feels like.
