Engine Covers

Hi

I have an 06 Altea (reference sport). The car has been in and out of the garage a couple of times and now the engine cover is missing. I am pretty sure that it did have one (I was disappointed that I couldn't see the shiny engine when I first got it!) however the garage are telling me that they stopped putting engine covers on the Altea about six months before I got mine.

Having the memory of a sieve I am now doubting myself but wondered if anyone else has an engine cover from around the same date (May 06 and they reckon it came straight from the factory!)

Any help would be much appreciated as I think they are trying one on as I am a girl!

Cheers

Sally

Plenty of other threads on here about this. A lot of VWG cars now come without the engine cover, more especially petrol and smaller diesels. What engine you got?

I've got a 06 1.9tdi Reference Sport and do not have a plastic engine cover. I got it in July.

I didn't notice that it wasn't there until I saw all the threads on here I just thought that Diesels had more of the metal on show than the little 1.2 in my old ibiza.
