Mk2 Leon Cupra engine cover

[Donnyboy]

I changed my air filter earlier after only 15K ....and it was pretty dirty. The book says its not due for about another 2 years or 40k!!

Anyway, once I put the engine cover back on it felt like there was a bit of movement in it. I never noticed it when taking it of as I just started to tug and haul at it once I had it all disconnected. It doesn't feel like its loose and going to come off. Just wondered if when people pull at the rear passenger side of the cover abit if it moves abit? I would really need to pull at it again to get it loose though.

they are ****, the rubber bungs perish and break with heat and movement

They looked in good condition and put a small amount of water based tyre dressing on them to help them back on.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean I can move mine a bit to the point I thought it wasn't on properly but it is. But I never remembered it doing that previously
Hopefully will be taking it off permanently soon anyway.

Mine was thrown in the skip a week after i bought my car, thats after i modified the standard intake into the best intake ever... I am sure DjHorace will agree with that
