I had a warranty repair done on the car a couple of months after we purchased it, the garage replaced the egr cooler/valve (sept 21) I've just had the car put through the MOT, which it passed. The mechanic said have you had you EGR replaced as I found a cover rattling about (he kindly gave it to me), I've attached a photo of it.

 

Question is

1. It's it easy to put back on?

2. Should the original repair cover the work?

 

I'm not sure if it's going to take slot of labor to get it back on?

 

 

 

Looks like a heat shield, should probably be refitted.

It looks like the heat shield that goes over the RHS inner driveshaft joint on my vehicle, has it had the gearbox removed?

Not that I know of (it was bought last year and I have all the garage documents), its a 2014 model.

 

The car started cluncking shortly after the EGR repair/replaced - So I think its been taken off the get to that and hasn't been replaced properly.

The part number on it confirms @J.R.'s idea 100%.

That (O/S) driveshaft will have been removed to improve access to the EGR.

I've just taken it back to my local garage and said almost exactly the same - so I'm now going back to where the rapair was done to see if they will rectify it.

 

The garage said its quite a bit of labour to get it sorted so that was my best option.

I would've thought it would be quite quick and easy to replace, after having removed any engine undercover which may be obstructing access.

The two fasteners/screws that hold it in place may have been lost, but I'm sure any garage could find something usable kicking about.
