If it's anything like the vRS engine it'll be bugger to get off and will just involve a lot of wiggling and careful prising

I'm just concerned it's held on with some clips or bolts and I break it. Can't see anything obvious.

Apparently it can easily crack so take it easy.

Not entirely sure this helps but thanks for the link anyway.

Well technically it was the first link on that page, just in case: http://www.s****monkey.com/vw/jetta/2006/remove_engine_cover/

Edit: *sigh* good to see the profanity filter hard at work breaking that url!

They are a bugger to get off and my dealer broke mine, even when greased up they are hard to get off, pull from the rear 1st .That is why they changed the design for the TSI
