VW/Seat Engines (Cover)

[leon1p]

Since the Golf Mk5 is basically the same layout engine as the leon can would an engine cover like the one in the pic fit the engine?

Maybe this has already been done?

Yes if the mounting points are there.

Difficult to tell from the pics.. looks like theres a mount point at the lower left of the cover as you look at the pic. And on the leon there could be a mounting point just to the right of the brake fluid resevoir and maybe to the left of the airbox. I'll have a nosey at lunch time though and get a better pic.

I have that engine cover on my FR, it came as standard.. How come it isnt on yours?

Becuase seat don't supply them anymore, probably due to cost.

 

[leon1p]

Oh well at least I could get a genuine seat part then maybe.. the brackets are there although it seems i would also need "ball heads" for mounting it onto the brackets. I bet these covers aren't cheap though, but do smarten the engine up a good bit.

i got one with mine, think it was the older leons that were missing, complain to your dealer.

Yes, cause I only have my Leon 2weeks..

The 170 TDI engine comes with an engine cover, but the 140 TDI doesn't!

It changed when the 140 engine became available in Stylance trim. I know a cover is available for order, but I don't know the part number

If you go here:- http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/59943/seat_leon.html you can see what one looks like.

That looks really good, makes it look much more modern. i have also seen audi ones which basically have the audi rings stuck on but i think vary in the colouring and have 2.0 TDI written on them

Think having seen that though i would have to get the genuine seat part.

Anyone know how much these engine covers cost?

I ordered mine when I got the vehicle (fleet lease) and was £90 fitted I think. Wished it muffled the noisey engine more though

There was a golf one on e-bay afew days a go for £25. Would just need to swap the badges over for a SEAT one.

 

[microgerry]

I bought one off ebay a couple of months back for only £20. Also needed three ball mounting pins which I think were about £4 from a VW dealer.

It fits the same as the SEAT one but mine is off a mk5 golf. Beware the 1.9tdi cover is different to the 2.0tdi cover though.

i think there a bit pricey for what they are! my ibiza FR has one but the leon doesnt
