New engine cover

[Covert]

New engine cover came today , looks nice well happy with it !

Had to graft on a black skoda badge but its come out ok.

It's tiny. Looks better!

[Covert]

Lol it is really small ! Thanks Tim

[Rsrob]

Looks Good the small part always make a big difference

Is the battery bigger than the engine....? Lol

Ha yes nearly its only a 1.2 petrol turbo but got enough poke for me

[octavianestate]

Maybe its not in proportion and that air filter housing is huge!!!

Stupid question time... Is the 1.2 the same as the 1.4 in appearance? I want something to cover the pan pipes and ignition modules - there's a lot of road clag getting around that part of the engine.

 

Not so stupid question... where from, how much?

 

Cheers

Many thanks

How does the original look like? I haven't seen it. Or isn't there any cover at all?

Covert, nice to see another member based in Northants!

 

For those interested in this mod, someone did a write up for a 1.4 Golf 7 which should be very similar for our Octavia.

Nice mod, looks more finished off.

Hey Covert,

I am doing the same atm.

I am wondering what you did with the VW logo.

Did you remove it?

Did you trimmed it down or something? Or you just put your Skoda badge right on top. ?

Mine VW logo is somewhat sperical.

Would be great if you could reply

Maybe because it's only ,04-00 in morning but I don't grasp this one.????But why change an engine cover when probably only you see it. Was the original that much of an embarrassment. Don't think mine looks out of place on my VRS Tsi. Never noticed. Assume it's understated. All to our own. Main thing is apart from little foibles are you happy. After . more than 6 years of Various Octavia's still think they're great.

Must admit I have done same in the past. I had a 2007 Mondeo diesel, the last year or so of the old shape rarely got engine covers as well as a few other blatant cost cutting bits and pieces so I bought a good used one from a breaker to tidy it up.

As you say, 99.9% of the time, nobody is any the wiser....but I know it's there

The lesser engines don't get a cover unlike us vRS owners. All the coil packs, wiring, etc on display. Apart from looking better, the cover protects the components from road muck, etc - it does get pretty dusty under there.

The diesel engines get engine covers.

[marcholloway]

Anyone painted there engine cover? If so what type of paint etc?

[themanwithnoaim]

The diesel engines get engine covers.

That's cos their butt Fn ugly in fact they look nearly as bad as they sound and that is saying something.

As for the rest of you Jessies, engine covers to keep an engine clean WTF

Obviously it's a first world problem I've missed somehow !!!
