View Full Version : 1.8T Engine Cover
I've a 2002 Audi A3 1.8T Sport. The engine doesn't have a cover but I'd like one as I think it enhances the look of the engine bay. According to the Pics in the Haynes manual this engine/model combination doesn't have one. I've seen pics though of other 1.8T's with covers. Can I get a cover from somewhere that would fit? hopefully without VW emblazed on it.

I've got a spare one from my Ibiza but I dont think it would fit yours....think the Leon Cupra / R one might though!

can u get a picture of your engine mate, mite help:)
Is this one (http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php?xProd=7741&xSec=382) any good for you? I'm guessing the 1.8T Sport was the 150bhp version of the engine.
Yep, that looks like the one I'm after. Thanks all for the help.
Here's the motor -

I have been keeping my eyes open for you mate for an engine cover will ask at the local audi delaer up the road from where i work.
Update - the A3 went in to the Penreath Audi at Menai Bridge yesterday for an MOT and new rear wiper motor and I asked about the engine cover. I do like the carbon fibre one in the link above but £130 is a bit steep for me at the Mo. Audi genuine article is £53.50+VAT and it arrives tomorrow with TURBO V5 emblazoned across it. So thanks all for the help and suggestions and I'll end this thread shortly with a pic of it in place.
Cheers.
Thanks for the posts, I've picked up the Audi part and it looks good.
As promised, a pic of the cover in place to end the thread.
