Seat leon plastic engine cover

[F8 CMR]

i had the bonnet up today filling my washer bottle up i noticed that the plastic that covers the engine was sitting properly then tryed to move it into place when it completely came of in my hand. i can see locating pins on it but no clips so that it would stay in place is this the case or should there be clips holding it down?
thanks Cal

should be rubber knuckle kind of clips.

mine is sitting in the garage, took it off as it wouldn't stay on. At next service i'll get the #]dealers to change the plastic fixings. The current ones look all mangled and melted almost.....

The original ones ( clipped into the engine) were plastic and broke, New ones are rubber and much better fit, very cheap as mentioned above

had same problem whith missing clips can you source parts from anywere else other than dealer.also a battery cover .any ideas

if its loose then keep it off until you can fix it on properly as my one was loose (didnt realise) and everytime the engine moved, the engine cover was making contact with the cable on my fuel pump and eventually broke and had to replace the whole unit.

in my old PD my cover was loose and one morning when i opened my bonnet i noticed that it had come off and knocked my dipstick loose and covered my engine bay with oil at the front!

Did you manage to find this out?

Was just Googling for the clips and this thread came up!

Been out for a drive and noticed smoke coming from my bonnet. Stopped and checked and the damn engine cover had come off and knocked the dip stick out so oil had gone everywhere! Its the second time its happened to me now. First time was not long after I had the car and had to have new clips then. The clips seem to last a couple years before perishing or breaking.
